My spell check will not detect miss-spelled words in Word 2007. My computer DOES detect spelling errors when I am writing using other parts of the office suite (such as Outlook), but it will not work in word!! The even odder thing is, I don't get an error, Word just doesn’t red-underline misspelled words OR say they are misspelled when I run spell check. On top of that, Word DOES detect grammar errors...? Weird!
I have completely un-installed and then re-installed the all of office but Word still refuses to spell check. (It is weird though because even though I un-installed the whole office suite, when I restarted my outlook, the settings were still intact and my e-mails were still there. Even my password was still there, settings were still there, calendar dates, everything was still there....)

What do I do? Is this a common error?
