Default where's my blue line??

I have windows XP Home edition and installed Office 2007 yesterday.I had
issues when I tried to start the online word 2007 tutorial because of windows
installer.I think I've fixed that problem as I was able to go back and
complete the tutorial;however the blue line doen't appear if I've used the
wrong word ie their all talking about me instead of they're all talking about
me.Any ideas as to why?

Ah, I think you want the grammar checker on. Click the Review tab on
the ribbon, then click "Spelling & Grammar" then click the Options
button and turn on/off whatever features you'd like to use.

You need to have contextual spell checking turned on: Office Button Word
Options Proofing tab "When correcting spelling and grammar in Word"
section "Use contextual spelling" checkbox.
