Spell check does not work in Word 2007?

G

Guest

Thank you for the suggestion, Beth. I was able to run the repair option and
received the acknowledgment that Word 2007 had been reconfigured. However,
the problem still persists. I simply cannot successfully run spell check in
Word 2007 inspittteee of the mannny spellling errrors I put in my documents.
Nothing gets underlined and the spell checker completes without identifying
any errors. I am baffled as to what to do.

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.
(again, I appreciate your ideas).

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....

Jim

:

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.

As language it correctly says English (US) in the status bar?

you move the cursor on a misspelled word?

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

suggestions?

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.

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....

Jim

:

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.

Jim


:

The office button is blinking or not?
As language it correctly says English (US) in the status bar?
Even when
you move the cursor on a misspelled word?

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

suggestions?

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.

Hi Everyone -

This is Jim just letting you know that the problem has been resolved. I
called the Microsoft Support line (I have 90 days of free assistance) and
they used Regedit to reset the default values for the proof checker. I
certainly did not mess with them to begin with. When I installed the
software, I clicked on all the "recommend" settings. Don't know what
happened, but I am glad it is fixed. They used Easy Share to take control of
my computer and did all the work while I watched. Worked nicely.

Thanks again to everyone for your assisance.

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

set
to English(US). I even rebooted. Did not work. Any other suggestions.

Thanks so much for passing along the resolution - what you encountered is
indeed odd!

btw, did they happen to give you a support number? If so, would you mind
emailing it to me (I wouldn't post it in the newsgroup). I can ask someone
from Microsoft to look it up and supply the exact steps they used to correct
the issue. It would be nice to have for future reference. :) To obtain a
valid email address, remove NoSpam4Me from: (e-mail address removed).

Thanks again!

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

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.
(again, I appreciate your ideas).

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

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

I am baffled.

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.

Hi Everyone -

This is Jim just letting you know that the problem has been resolved. I
called the Microsoft Support line (I have 90 days of free assistance) and
they used Regedit to reset the default values for the proof checker. I
certainly did not mess with them to begin with. When I installed the
software, I clicked on all the "recommend" settings. Don't know what
happened, but I am glad it is fixed. They used Easy Share to take control
of
my computer and did all the work while I watched. Worked nicely.

Thanks again to everyone for your assisance.

Thank you for the suggestion, Beth. I was able to run the repair
option and
received the acknowledgment that Word 2007 had been reconfigured.
However,
the problem still persists. I simply cannot successfully run spell

Nothing gets underlined and the spell checker completes without
identifying

Can you use the email address listed on my support page:

Thank you for the suggestion, Beth. I was able to run the repair
option and
received the acknowledgment that Word 2007 had been reconfigured.
However,
the problem still persists. I simply cannot successfully run spell
check in
Word 2007 inspittteee of the mannny spellling errrors I put in my
documents.
Nothing gets underlined and the spell checker completes without
identifying
any errors. I am baffled as to what to do.

Jim

:

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.

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.
(again, I appreciate your ideas).

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

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.

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

On the "Review" tab, I looked at "Set Language." It
is set to

Hi Eric,

We don't have any information yet about the solution to this problem.
Have you tried the suggestions in this thread already? If not, please do
so. If yes, your best bet right now is to call Microsoft product support
as well.

Hi Everyone -

This is Jim just letting you know that the problem has been resolved. I
called the Microsoft Support line (I have 90 days of free assistance) and
they used Regedit to reset the default values for the proof checker. I
certainly did not mess with them to begin with. When I installed the
software, I clicked on all the "recommend" settings. Don't know what
happened, but I am glad it is fixed. They used Easy Share to take control
of
my computer and did all the work while I watched. Worked nicely.

Thanks again to everyone for your assisance.

Thanks, I will give them a call. Appreciated your help through this.

At this point, the only recommendation left is to contact Microsoft
Support. They might be able to help you diagnose the problem.

As Patrick noted, we don't have one right now but as he suggests, make sure
you've ruled out everything that was suggested in this thread first.

Jimbo did email me his incident number info (thanks Jimbo - and sorry about
the email address!) and I've asked someone to look up the specifics for us.
Once we hear something we'll post the information in this thread.

Hi Beth,

As a guess, from the other times I've seen a similar case of this reported, the registry change that fixed it in those cases was to
locate registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing
Tools\1.0\Override\en-US

and check the list of DLL and LEX entries to see if they're pointing to real or nonexistant files.

If non existant (probably a pair)
Rename these to oldDLL and oldLEX (although I suspect that exporting then zapping that key then running a diagnostic would also
work).

But, just a guess :)

=============
Thanks so much for passing along the resolution - what you encountered is
indeed odd!

btw, did they happen to give you a support number? If so, would you mind
emailing it to me (I wouldn't post it in the newsgroup). I can ask someone
from Microsoft to look it up and supply the exact steps they used to correct
the issue. It would be nice to have for future reference.>>
