Spell check in word

[Stian St?vland]

I cant´t see the wavy underlines in my word document anymore. When I
try to check the document for spelling errors, I get a message telling
me that this is already done.
I have changed between Norwegian and English dictionary, but now
nothing gets checked except automatic spelling when I type ie "Tihs"
in stead of "This". Suggestions?

Make sure your text is not set to "no proofing." Select some text, go to
Tools | Language, see what language is highlighted. To change an existing
documents, select all and set a language via Tools | Language. If new
documents are coming up wrong, you may need to change the language
associated with a style.

Not just "No Proofing". Any language other than the one that the text is
set to will disable spelling.

By "text" I mean "each word" of the text. The Language tag in a Word
document is a word-level property. A word can have a language, several
words may have a different language. A sentence can have a language. A
paragraph can have a language. The style applied to the paragraph may have
a language. A character style can have a language. Normal style can have a
language that affects everything else.

When I say "Language" I mean that the name of the language must match
character-for-character with the language installed to the spelling checker.
"English" is not close enough: If English US is the only English installed,
text marked in English UK can not be spelled.

Hope this helps
