Hello all,
I have windows vista premium and windows office 7 professional plus. When in word and I try and run spell checker/grammar, the grammar part works fine but the spell checker comes back clean when I know there are misspelled words, I put them in. It did work at on time but now it doesn't. I looked at the options and they are all like the 2 other computers, which are running well. I uninstalled and reinstalled but no joy. Not sure what else to do. I don't want to do a complete reinstall since all else is working correctly. Any ideas?

Thanks!
AlanBy Office 7, I assume you mean Office 95 (which was version 7) and not Office 2007?

ALSO, are you editing in more than one language? Doing so can sometimes confused Office, especially older versions, and it will only spell check one language and not the other, although it will still check the grammar of the other, much like you're describing.

A reply from this website explains the solution like this:

If you're working in more than one language within a document, Microsoft Word can automatically detect each language as you TYPE it.

To use this feature, you must first set up your computer to support multilingual editing, and then enable the languages you want to use for editing.

On the Tools menu, POINT to Language, and then click Set Language.

Select the Detect language automatically check box.

To turn off automatic language detection in your document, clear the Detect language automatically check box.

To turn off the automatic detection of a particular language, remove it from the list of enabled languages in the Microsoft Office Language Settings tool. Remove the language only if you don't want to use features particular to that language (for example, date formats) in Word and other Microsoft Office programs.

Well, Since Office 95 won't install at all on windows Vista...
