Microsoft 2007 spell check not working

Options
We have Microsoft Office 2007 eneterprise edition on our PC. We recently installed it and the spell check is not working.

I have tried to google the problem but don't really understand the fixes something about a registry key which I have no idea how to find and change.

If anyone can explain step by step how to fix this I would be grateful. I am trying to write a letter to accompany a job application and I am the worlds worse speller.

  • Try the following before you try editing the registry as Office 2007 is believed to turn off the English dictionary if it detects a conflict with Outlook - Microsoft Office Button Word Options Ad Ins Manage (select disabled items) Click on the english dictionary and re-enable it if it is disabled Close Word and restart.

    Thanks. I have checked the Ad ins and there is nothing disabled.

    My spell checker's not working either:


    Eye halve a spelling chequer
    It came with my pea sea
    It plainly marques four my revue
    Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
    Eye strike a key and type a word
    And weight four it two say
    Weather eye am wrong oar write
    It shows me strait a weigh.
    As soon as a mist ache is maid
    It nose bee fore two long
    And eye can put the error rite
    Its rare lea ever wrong.
    Eye have run this poem threw it
    I am shore your pleased two no
    Its letter perfect awl the weigh
    My chequer tolled me sew.:whistle:
