Occassionally word does not recognize my misspelled words. I typed the word
diagonosis in a document this morning, which I knew was incorrect, but I
couldn't remember how to spell. I highlighted the word and asked for a
spellcheck. Word said it was finished with the selection. I then finished my
document, and ask for a check of the entire document, again, the error was
not noticed. The error was noticed only after highlighting and asking for
the Thesarus. I did check my dictionaries thinking that I may have
inadvertently added the mispelled word, but it was not in my dictionary.
 
In that case the word must have been formatted as "Do not check spelling or
grammar." Select just the word, go to Tools | Language | Set Language, check
to see which language is selected, and make sure the "Do not check" box is
not checked.

Thanks Suzanne, I did as you suggested, and the "Do not check: box was not
checked. Any other thoughts?
 
In that case I have no idea.
