I was typing one day in Word 2007, and all of a sudden all my misspelled
words (with the red squiggles underneath) disappeared. I tried messing with
the proofing options and nothing worked. I tried uninstalling and then
reinstalling the program and it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to
fix this? Please help, I'm desperate!

In Office button | Word Options, is "Check spelling as you type" checked? Is
"Do not check spelling or grammar" cleared (Review tab | Set Language)? Is
the correct language applied to text?

I made sure all of these were done, and the spell check still doesn't work.
Thanks for trying; do you have any other suggestions?

Select the text, and press Shift+F7. In the Reveal Formatting task pane,
which language/proofing options are listed?
