wordxp & spelling

[ted medin]

Spell checker does not work on part of my 1 page doc. However, I did get a
comment about spell checker turned off for part of the doc. I did not
intentionally do that so how do I find out where its turned off & how to
turn it back on? TIA

Probably part of your text is set to No Proofing.
You have to assign a language to the text for Word to spellcheck it.
To assign a language, select all text and use Tools | Language.

This may have happened if you pasted in some text that was already set to No
Proofing, and then kept hitting enter and typing from that block of text.

If this happens in multiple documents, you may need to use a style-based
solution instead of the manual formatting solution given above. Post back
if so.

Ctrl+A to select the entire document. Then go to Tools | Language | Set
Language. Make sure that an appropriate language is selected and that the
"Do not check spelling and grammar" and "Detect language automatically"
boxes are clear.

Tried this before but did NOT uncheck the 'detect language automatically'.
Uncheck them both & it works thanks.
