Are you sure there are any spelling errors in the document? Did you make
sure to specify the correct language for the text? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "atlantis" wrote in message news have gone to tools and reset spellchecker but keeps saying spellcheck is complete |

Open the document where this problem occurs, press Ctrl+A to select all
of the text, click on Tools | Language | Set Language | choose your language | uncheck the "Detect language automatically" and "Do not check spelling or grammar" boxes | Default | OK. Then press F7 to rerun spelling and grammar checks, and save the document. atlantis wrote: have gone to tools and reset spellchecker but keeps saying spellcheck is complete |

You don't mention which version of Word you are using.
In 2003 and prior: 1. Select all (Ctrl+A to select the whole document). 2. Double click on the language button at the bottom of the Word window (or Tools, Language, Set Language). 3. Select Language required in top section of the dialog box. 4. Clear the "Do Not Check Spelling or Grammar" check box. While here also clear the "Detect language automatically" if this is checked. If either is gray, then that means that part of the selected text has that setting, and part does not. You want that box to be white, not gray or checked. 5. OK. The document should now be open to spelling and grammar checking. Now click the Spelling & Grammar button or press F7 to run a check. You might need to go to Tools, Options, Spelling and Grammar and click the Recheck Document button. In Word 2007, Review tab, Proofing group, Set Language, make sure that English (US) is selected and that the two check boxes at the bottom are UNCHECKED: then press Default. Now click the Spelling & Grammar button or press F7 to run a check. You might need to go to Office button Word Options Proofing and click the Recheck Document button.

Apologies, I forgot to add that the language does not have to be English US,
but whatever you wish so long as a language is selected. ;-) DeanH "DeanH" wrote: You don't mention which version of Word you are using. In 2003 and prior: 1.
