I have been working on a research paper on multiple computers at the library.
Today when I tried to edit my paper on my home computer the spell check
function did not work. An error came up that said the spell check file could
not be found. However when I opened a new document and started typing the
spell check works fine. I have tried to recheck the document on the options
menu and copy and paste sections of the paper to a new document but it still
doesn't work. Any suggestions?

In the paper that you can't spell check, press Ctrl+A to select the entire
document. Then go to Tools | Language | Set Language and make sure that the
correct language is selected and that "Do not check spelling or grammar" is
not checked.
