RE: Spell Checker in Word 2007
Just to confirm, one of the "suggested fixes" was to select the whole
document (Ctrl+A), Language, Set Language, clear the "Do not check spelling
and grammar" box?
What you describe nearly always point to this box being checked for the text
that is not being checked.

My spell checker will not check anything, even when I blatantly mis-spell
something.
I have checked that this box you speak of is unchecked and it is.
Any ideas?

I've found a fix that'll work - you need to delete your whole reg. key for
word - go to <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822005/en-us> for instructions.

RE: Spell Checker in Word 2007
I just did what you suggested, deleted the reg.key and IT WORKED!!! I was
scared to death since I don't know a lot about this stuff, but thanks. I can
spell pretty good but it's always nice to know spell checker has your back.
