An added note; I got it to check the document by un-checking both check
boxes, saving the document, reopening the document, and surprise there are
about 5-10 misspellings per page, which is what I am accustomed to seeing.
I will try opening and saving the document at work (Word 97) tonight and then
reopen it at home (Word 2007) and see if the problem returns.
I will let you know how it goes.

Suzanne, the problem is that eveytime you un-check "Do not check spelling or
grammar" it re-sets it self. There is a problem somewhere in the programing
if you need to keep un-checking a box that should be un-checked by default at
all times. I should have the option to turn spell-check off, but I should not
have to keep turning it on.
If MS Word 2007 cannot work as "expected" by the general public, then the
general public will stop using it. Buy stock in Workperfect.

This could be the issue. "Check spelling as you type" was introduced in Word
2002, I believe. When you open documents created in an earlier version (Word
97 for sure, as I experienced this), the option to "Hide spelling errors in
this document" is enabled. In Word 2002/2003, this option is accessed via
Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar or via the Spelling and Grammar Status
button on the status bar; presumably the Spelling & Grammar options are now
accessed by the Office Button | Word Options.

Suanne, I am having the same problem for example word did not highlight
"mandatoryy" as being spelled wrong. I tried your fix, did not help. Word
is
sitll not spell checking. One added note for those investigating the
problem. I normally work on my documents at home in Word 2007, but also at
work using Word 97.. Maybe there is a problem during the conversion
process
that is blocking spell check.
