Word 2007 does not check mispelled words
I have recently installed word 2007 on my computer . Alas, the words that I
misspell are not highlighted in word 2007. Is so frustrating, physically checking through all my documents for all of the words that were incorrectly typed. I have tried the suggestions in word options but this have not worked. I have lost points in my masters degree course because of this. Help. |

Can you check whether your text is indeed in in the language setting you intend it to be?

Word 2007 does not check mispelled words
Hi Robert, The problem is the default language is United States English and even if I type words in Spanish, these words are not highlighted (red underlined). If I change the default language to say Spanish (Venezuela) all the non Spanish words will be red underlined. Could there be a problem with the English dictionary in word 2007? I am so completely confused. Lee. "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote: Hello Lee lee wrote: I have recently installed word 2007 on my computer .

What language edition is your Office/Word version?

Word 2007 does not check mispelled words
Hi Robert,
I am using the MS Office Home and Student 2007. I am runing windows Vista on my computer. The Office Suite has been set up with English(United States) as the default language. It was manufactured in Puerto Rico. "Robert M.

Use setup to repair the installation, Office Diagnosis, etc. HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Hi Robert,
I have tried the repair- that doesn't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program- that doesnt work either. "Robert M.

Word 2007 does not check mispelled words
Hi Robert
I have found the solution. It was in the disabled add ins section and I had it enabled so it has started working again. I hope it doesnot stop working again. "Robert M.

Hi Robert,
One of the things that happens with Office 2007 is that the proofing tools can end up in the 'disabled items' list after a document crash, but can usually be restarted. ================ "Robert M.
