Help Please: Office enterprise 2007 spell checker not working

jayward

Hello, can anyone help. I am trying to run office enterprise office 2007 and the spell checker does not seem to work, the jagged line under incorrectly spelt words comes up ok, but when you try to select the correct word it will not highlight and therefore the word cannot be replaced. All the correction suggestions are greyed out and cannot be selected. I am not sure why this is occuring can anyone help me?
thanks
Jay Ward

Your Normal.docx may be causing the problem. Try this...

In a blank document in Word 2007, on the Review ribbon, in the Proofing group, click the Set Language button. In the dialog, I think you'll find that the "Do not check spelling or grammar" box is checked. Uncheck it, and then click the Default button to apply the setting to the Normal template. Click Yes in the message that asks whether to change the default, and click OK
to close the Language dialog.

Hi any more ideas please

scottishf

what operating system are you using?

jayward

hi I'm using vista,
when i bought you had to say the operating system it was for

scottishf

what about in the proofing menu in the autocorrect options tick the 'automatically use suggestions from the spell checker?. Can i just ask is this the full version of the software or a trial?

jayward

i have looked it was ticked.
it is a full version i got it 2 months ago i work for nhs got it reduced price it is home use program it all very confusing i need the spell checker

Under the old version it was Tools/Language - check that it's set to UK

highlight all the document CtrlA and either rightmouse click or find tools/options - choose UK

go to control panel, find programs (add?) dig and find Office then click Repair (put the CD back in)

sorry to be so vague but have moved to mac now and open source - not, I have to say, without its limitations

best of luck

jayward

thanks for trying did as you suggested bdon no luck I'm afraid

Does double clicking the word (thus highlighting it) and then right clicking it work?
