Word 2007 spell check problems
Spell check is not working in Word 2007. I have tried to highlight the text
and then go into spell check. I have made sure that the language is correct. it seems like it should be an easy fix but I'm stumped! |

Word 2007 spell check problems
First, click the Microsoft Office Button, close it, and see if spell check
begins to work. (Believe it or not, there's a slight bug with spell check and the Microsoft Office Button, you need to click it once for it to start working. Note that this only applies to new installations and it will only happen once.) If that doesn't work then if no custom spell checker have been installed on the computer, exit Word, and then backup and delete the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Override\en-US This key will be rebuilt the next time you start Word. Please let us know if this resolves the issue. This resolution, found by Bob Buckland on another forum, has been only recently confirmed by Microsoft. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Word 2007 spell check problems
Beth,
I read your post with great interest as I am experiencing the same problem getting spell checker to work in my Office 2007 programs. Where might I find the registry and what is the safest program to use to edit this? -- Thanks, COOP "Beth Melton" wrote: First, click the Microsoft Office Button, close it, and see if spell check begins to work.
