How do I make Word 2007 spellcheck with new documents?

[Steve_R]

For some inexplicable reason, my Word 2007 is refusing to spell-check new
documents on the grounds that <<text marked with"do not check spelling or
grammar" was skipped>>. Documents created by Word 2003 don't have this
problem.

At the bottom of the Word window, click the language indicator--it probably
says English (U.S.). If you don't see it, then right-click the status bar
and click on Language.

In the Language dialog, make sure that the language is set correctly, and
that "Do not check spelling or grammar" is unchecked, and click Set as
Default. Confirm as needed, and close the Language dialog box.
