Default Spell check preferences on, spell check not working

Hey,
I selected preferences for spelling and grammar in Office 2007
Professional, but when I check spelling - none of my errors are caught. The
grammar line will underscore where appropriate, the spelling line doesn't.
Furthure more when I intentionally check and double check none of the errors
are caught. Am I mising a preference selection?

Default Re: Spell check preferences on, spell check not working

We cannot see your screen from here. We cannot see what preferences you
have selected, so we cannot answer your question as to whether you are
missing a preference selection. We cannot see which Office 2007
application you have this problem in, but if it is in Word 2007, then:

1. Verify settings in Word 2007:
a. Open a document that has this problem, press Ctrl+A to select all of
the text.
b. Click on Review tab | Proofing: Set Language | <choose your language>
| uncheck the "Detect language automatically" and "Do not check spelling
or grammar" boxes | Default | OK.
c. Click on Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | check the "Check
spelling as you type" and "Check grammar with spelling" boxes | uncheck
the "Hide spelling errors in this document only" and "Hide grammar
errors in this document only" boxes | OK.

2. If the previous suggestion doesn't help, then in Word 2007 click on
Office Button | Word Options | Add-Ins | Manage: Disabled Items. If you
see any disabled items that relate to spelling, try enabling them.

3. If the previous two suggestions don't help, then:
a. Close Word.
b. In your Windows registry, if the key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing
Tools\1.0\Override" exists, delete it.
c. Restart your computer.
