Here's a laundry list of other things to try, after this I'm tapped out.
- Use the Reveal Formatting pane to see and check "direct formatting" at
the bottom to see more specifically what's going on with the text, if you see
anything about Asian Text ... Sorry you're own your own - pesky MS Proofing
tools ... grrr
- Look for hidden text, this includes Track Changes so make sure you're in
Final w/Markup
- Try changing the font to something "usual" like Times New Roman or Arial,
if you are using one of those, switch to the other
- Is the text in all upper or include numbers, if so clear those boxes
under Tools > Options > Spelling
If those leave you still having problems I'd use the sledgehammer
Try deleting your Normal.dot and your word temp files, look for any
undeleted autosaves that sort of thing. If all else fails, copy the text,
paste it into notepad and back into a brand spanking new doc, you'll have to
restylize it.
