microsoft office 2010 spell checker not working

chughes · 07-11-2010 10:47PM #1

I have investigated other forums but I can't seem to get the answer I need.

I upgraded to Office 2010 recently and I can't get spell checker to work. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you solve it ?

Thanks in advance.

You can disable the checker within a style, check your settings there.

I opened a Word document, typed in a single incorrect word, selected it, and pressed F7.

I just got the check is complete message, incorrect word stayed incorrect as it didn't seem to detect it.

I don't follow you, where within a style are there settings for spelling ?

File => Options => Proofing

In the third group down,

I have the first four boxes checked and the writing style set to Grammar only.

Do you?

I have same four boxes checked but the writing style box is greyed out.
