Word spellcheck not checking some text
I am working on a document in Microsoft Word 2003 and have opted for the
spellchecker to check spelling as I type. This function is working in some parts of the document but ignoring large sections of text with obvious errors such as words run together and random strings of letters. I have tried switching off the spellchecker and then back on again; I've reset the 'recheck document' button in the options; I've also individually selected the words and hit the spellcheck button. I've double checked all the spelling and grammar options and am now very frustrated - can anyone help? Thanks |

Hi, Ros. Press Ctrl+A to select all of the text in the document. Click on
Tools | Language | Set Language | choose your language | uncheck the "Do not check spelling or grammar" and "Detect language automatically" boxes | Default | OK. Press F7 to rerun spellcheck.
