Spell check does not work in Word 2007?

[Guest]

I cannot get spell check to work in Word 2007 (using Vista). I purposely
missspell words and they are not underlined nor are the identified as being
misspelled when I check the spelling. I have checked the settings and am
using English as the language. Everything else looks ok.

Click the Office button, then Word Options and check the spelling tab.
Everything look fine there? If it does, try it again.

I don't have a spelling tab, but a "proofing" tab. When I click that and
view the spelling options, under the Word option, the first four blocks are
checked. I clicked OK. I then typed a document with errors. Nothing was
underlined, and when I checked spelling, it indicated there were no errors
inspite of the mannnny that I put in the document. My default language is set
to English.

Click the Office button, then Word Options and check the spelling tab.

[Guest]

I appreciate your help, Patrick. I purchased what I believe to be the
English Language version. I walked in to CompUSA in Austin and picked it off
the shelf. The package says, "Microsoft home and Student 2007." Any other
suggestions?

The office button is not blinking.
The status bar does not mention English (US) or any other language. Nothing
happens when I move the cursor over any word.
On the "Review" tab, I looked at "Set Language." It is set to "English
(United States)"
I am baffled.

Does it show any icon left of English (US) when you go into Review tab,
Set Language? The icon should be a checkmark with ABC written over it.

Yes, it does have the ABC checkmark icon just to the left of English (US) on
the same line. It is the first selection. Still doesn't work. Still
baffled....

If you run spell check manually from the Review tab, it doesn't catch
any errors either?

Correct, it doesn't catch any of the errors, and there are many and obvious.
I also tried it on Excel 2007 and the same story there. I thought about
reloading everything, but am worried that may mess up my Microsoft licenses
and registration. Any other ideas?

I don't have a spelling tab, but a "proofing" tab. When I click that and
view the spelling options, under the Word option, the first four blocks are
checked. I clicked OK. I then typed a document with errors. Nothing was
underlined, and when I checked spelling, it indicated there were no errors
inspite of the mannnny that I put in the document. My default language is set
to English.

:

Click the Office button, then Word Options and check the spelling tab.
Everything look fine there? If it does, try it again.

I cannot get spell check to work in Word 2007 (using Vista). I purposely
missspell words and they are not underlined nor are the identified as being
misspelled when I check the spelling. I have checked the settings and am
using English as the language. Everything else looks ok.

Correct, it doesn't catch any of the errors, and there are many and obvious.
I also tried it on Excel 2007 and the same story there. I thought about
reloading everything, but am worried that may mess up my Microsoft licenses
and registration. Any other ideas?
Jim

If you run spell check manually from the Review tab, it doesn't catch
any errors either?

Yes, it does have the ABC checkmark icon just to the left of English (US) on
the same line. It is the first selection. Still doesn't work. Still
baffled....

:

Does it show any icon left of English (US) when you go into Review tab,
Set Language? The icon should be a checkmark with ABC written over it.

The office button is not blinking.
The status bar does not mention English (US) or any other language. Nothing
happens when I move the cursor over any word.
On the "Review" tab, I looked at "Set Language." It is set to "English
(United States)"
I am baffled.

I did as you suggested. It completed its work and made one correction, but
it wasn't the correction that would fix this problem. I even double checked
the language setting (Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office
Tools, Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings) and verified that it was set
to English(US). I even rebooted. Did not work. Any other suggestions.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?SmltYm8=?=,

I even double checked
the language setting (Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office
Tools, Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings) and verified that it was set
to English(US).

This is a long thread, so I may have missed it; apologies all around, if so:

Have you made sure the "Do not check spelling or grammar" check box is NOT
activated for the text in question?

Thanks for joining in. I checked the "Do not check spelling or grammar"
option and it is NOT CHECKED. The problem still persists. The spell check
does not work.

Your continued assistance is appreciated.

Mmmm. OK, back to the really, really basic trouble-shooting steps:

1. Do you continue to see the problem if you start Windows in Safe Mode

2. How about if you start Word in Safe Mode (by holding down the Ctrl key)

3. Which program do you use as your email editor?

[Guest]

I appreciate your help. These are the answers to your questions:

1. I do continue to see the problem in Windows Safe Mode
2. I do continue to see the problem when I start Word in Safe Mode.
3. I use AOL for my email editor.

What is funny is my grammar checker works fine, the spell checker does not
work at all.

Any other ideas??

Jim

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Since you mention an email editor, is the problem with spell check showing
up only in email? Because Word 2007 does not provide proofing tools for
email.

While in Add/Remove Programs and Office 2007 setup, did you try using the
Repair option? If not, try repairing your Office installation and see if
that resolves the issue.
