Possible Fix for nonfunctioning spell check in Word 2007?
I have struggled with this problem and think I found the answer. It seems
that Office 2007 disables the english dictionary. I've read that is because it may conflict with older Outlook Express. To turn the spell check english dictionary back on goto: Microsoft Office Button Word Options Ad Ins Manage (select disabled items) Click on the english dictionary and re-enable it Close Word and restart. My speel check now works fine. |

Possible Fix for nonfunctioning spell check in Word 2007?
Lance,
I want to try this possible fix, but I'm unclear as to what you mean by "Microsoft Office Button;" where is it? What program are you in so that you can click that button. I feel rather stupid asking you this, but I can't think of where the buttons are. My issues are that my MSN Hotmail account does not recognize my MS Word dictionary so I cannot perform Spell Check in emails. Thanks so much.

Possible Fix for nonfunctioning spell check in Word 2007?
Lance, I don't normally post to these things, just read them when I need info. So I've been to at least a dozen help forums and done everything from a-z in the past month or so it hasn't been working. Today I googled "fix Word spellcheck" (for randomness sake) and came to your post. I can't believe that it was just that simple to fix! Good work. Someone should pat you on the back for fixing another one of Microsoft's screw-ups. -- perseverance5468 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ perseverance5468's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/perseverance5468.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/ms-office-support/898818.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
