Microsoft Word 2002 spell check quit working

[Peter Olcott]

All of a sudden spell check quit working on Microsoft Word
2002. It simply ignores all the errors.

I already tried to uninstall it and re-install it and still
have the same problem.

Does anyone know what to do to fix this problem?

There was some kind of corrupt data in the file. I cut the
file to notepad and pasted it back and this fixed the
problem.

I lost all of my formatting, though.

Cut and paste to and from WordPad fixed the problem without
losing the formatting.
