although settings are on, autocomplete no longer works. Also, spellcheck
does not happen automatically when a new document is opened - again, settings
are on.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?ZG91Z3R1c2luZw==?=,

Try holding CTRL when starting Word, to go into Safe Mode. Do you still see the
problem? Test first with spell check; and if that's not working automatically, try
with F7. Report any messsages you get.

With "Autocomplete" are you referring to AutoCorrect, or AutoText?

I started Word in safe mode, and there is no difference. It still will not
highlight misspelled words automatically - I need to run spellcheck manually.

With the other issue, not sure whether it is "autotext" or "autocorrect".
It used to be that if I started typing the first few letters of a month, for
example, the full date would automatically appear. This no longer happens.
 
For the first problem, make sure you have "Check spelling as you type"
checked on the Spelling & Grammar tab of Tools | Options. For the latter,
make sure you have "Show AutoComplete suggestions" checked in Insert |
AutoText | AutoText...
