My word spell checker doesn't work even though it is activated. When
importing text into word the spell and grammer checker operate correctly. I
have tried re-activating the checker to no avail. I even re-installed office
but the checker stubbornly refuses to work. Any suggestions will be most
welcome.

Select the text that is not being checked. Go to Tools | Language | Set
Language and make sure that the correct language is selected and that "Do
not check spelling and grammar" is not checked.
