Why doesn't my spell check work in Word?

G

Guest

When I try to spell check my word document I receive the following:

"The macro cannot be found or has been disabled due to macro security
settings".

I went to Toos > Macros > Security and choose "Low" for the security
setting, but it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Sounds like someone has written a macro named ToolsProofing that is
hijacking the built-in command. Try finding and deleting the macro.

Change the "Macros in" setting till you isolate the template or add-in that
contains this macro. Then unload the add-in. If it's in your Startup folder
and it's something you don't need, move it out. Note that if you find this
"macro" only in the Word Commands list, then we're barking up the wrong
tree.
