Same thing here - I see the errant word, have selected all, and still it
says "spelling check is complete"

Sorry - I checked and verified everything, but still no good.

Hi Don,

Try going into Tools, Option, Spelling and Grammer and then click on
the
Check Document button. This will reset the entire document and recheck
everything. While there also make sure that "Hide Spelling Errors"
and
"Hide Grmamatical errors" are unchecked while "Check spelling as you
type"
and "Check grammer as you type" are checked. .

HTH
