Spell Check still not working
Ctrl+A to Select All. Go to Tools | Language | Set Language and make sure
that the correct language is selected and that "Do not check spelling or grammar" is not checked. -- Suzanne S.

Spell Check still not working
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. "Suzanne S.

Spell Check still not working
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. -- Suzanne S.

Spell Check still not working
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. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This could be the issue.

Spell Check still not working
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.

Spell Check still not working
If this is happening for the program in general (all documents, including
new ones), then the issue is in the Registry (Options not being saved). But in a single document, notice that "Hide spelling errors" has nothing to do with the setting of "Do not check." In your most recent post, you said that, even when you cleared the "Do not check spelling or grammar" box, Word was not "highlighting" errors in a specific document. I took that to mean that it was not marking them with a wavy underline, which could be a result of having "Hide spelling errors in this document" checked (note that this is a per-document setting, which does not affect any other documents, and is enabled by default in documents created in Word 97 and opened in Word 2002 or later). If Word is not finding errors even when you run the spelling checker explicitly, then that is another issue. And if you are clearing the box and clicking OK and then immediately go back (not later, in another Word session) and find that the box is checked, then there is something seriously amiss. Believe me when I say that this is not normal and is not experienced by most Word users. -- Suzanne S.

Spell Check still not working
Suzanne, "hide spelling errors" is not checked, and yes it will not even find
spelling errors when I know there are some. However, I was able to get it work as advertised by un-checking both boxes: (1) "Do not Check spelling or grammar" and (2) "Detect language automatically". By un-checking the 2nd box word discontinued its auto-re-checking the first box. Opening and saving the document in Word 97 and then Word 2007 had no effect. Also all new documents now start and open with both boxes un-checked. I have seen more than a few people complaining about similar problems, which is why I pursued this conversation. Thanks for your assistance in this manner. "Suzanne S.
