RE: Word 2007 SPELL CHECK QUIT Working ... Can't Get It Back
OK, fixed my own problem. Yippee!
I found the following excerpt on the internet on www.kevindevin.com, and
believe it or not it worked. Just go into the registry tree as described
below, and delete the last registry item listed in the entry below ("Word").
When you reopen Word, you can type gibberish and Word picks it up. Don't
know how long the fix will last, but just glad the spell check is back! From
the KevinDevin website:
"She had an interesting problem where spell check did not work at all in
Word. It worked fine in all the other office apps. Just not word. It turns
out it was a registry setting somehow. I figured it out by making another
user account and found spell check worked in word under that user. After some
poking around I found Microsoft KB Article 822005. Basically I just had to
delete the registry key KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word.
Then I reopened Word and let it recreate the key and subkeys. This fixed the
issue and Spell Check started working."
