Word 2003 spell check problems

Hi,

Every time I perform a spell check I get the message.

The spelling and grammar check is complete.
Text marked with "Do not check spelling or grammar was skipped."

How do I go about resetting this so it checks all text, at the moment its not checking any!!

    When the spellcheck wizard pops up, have a look in the settings box, its probably something in there.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.
  • No spell check wizard appears at all!

    Or Try this

    1. highlight the area which won't spell check.
    2. click 'Tools' menu then the 'Language' option, then 'Set Language' option.
    3. ensure that 'Do not check spelling or grammar' option is NOT selected.
    4. click

    The Spell Check should check the area now.
  • Many thanks Mr Skint the above post did the trick!
