I tried a lot of stuff to activate the grammar, but nothing other than the
following worked:
open a word document - click on the office sign - go to word options - go
to proofing - custom dictionaries - select dictionary language - (there would
be something which suggest spelling ) - enable it - select your language - ok

restart the document .. and you are all set to go ..

Spell check for Office 2007, in at least Word 2007 and Outlook 2007 is not
working. Not only does it not recognize a misspelled word automatically,
when I hit f7 it says all words are spelled correctly. the grammar check
works just fine. It even has a problem with intentionally misspelled words
like asdfasdf. I've checked the proofing options and everything seems to be
checked that needs to be checked. This is a brand new install of Office 2007.
