Default My Spell check will not work

In the Windows Registry. On the Windows Taskbar, click Start | Run, type

regedit

and press Enter. The Registry is organized in a tree similar to the way
files are represented in Windows Explorer (My Computer). Select the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch and open up the branches under it to get to the
specified item.

I have been using the free trial download of Office 2007; yesterday I
downloaded the full version from a CD. I opened up a document that I
had been working on in the trial version and spell check no longer
worked. It has been working in the trail version and in my old 2003
version. When I type a work that is misspelled no red lines come up
and if I go to review, and then spelling and grammar check it come
back saying the check is complete but has not actually checked the
words. The same thing happens if I hit F7. I tried this in many
different documents including new and old ones.
I also tried different programs (power point and publisher) and when
I do I spell check there it does not work either.

I have tried everything to fix it that I can think of.

First, I deleted Office and then reinstalled it. Then I looked
online: My settings under proofs are all fine. Hide spelling errors
is not checked, check spelling as I type is checked. My language is
set in English (US) and I high lighted everything and then rechecked
all of the above and it is fine. Then I went to the websites
recommend on different posts from here and follow all the
instructions and still nothing.
