Can not check spelling

Using Windows XP and Office 2003. When checking a document for spelling
errors I got the following response - Text marked with "Do Not Check
Spelling" was skipped." What is it and how do I remove it so I can perform a
real check?

In the document where this occurs, press Ctrl+A to select all of
the text, click on Tools | Language | Set Language | <choose your
language> | uncheck the "Detect language automatically" and "Do
not check spelling or grammar" boxes | Default | OK. Then press
F7 to rerun spelling and grammar checks.

In Word 2003, select Options from the Tools drop down menu. Select the
Spelling & Grammar tab, then click [Recheck Document]. Click [Yes] to
confirm that you want to recheck all spelling and grammar in the document,
then close the dialog. This will reset all text in your document as if it
had never been checked before.
