Spell Check not working in a table (Word 2007)

[Jen987]

Please help. Spell check is not working within a table. I've check the
language settings and 'Do not check spell check' is not check.

Is there anything else I can do?

Does spell check work in the remainder of the document? Is the
table in a floating text box?

Spell check is not working in the rest of the document. No this isn't in a
floating text box. It's in the standard table.

1. Verify settings in Word 2007:
a. Open a document that has this problem. Press Ctrl+A to select
all of the text.
b. Click on Review tab | Proofing: Set Language | <choose your
language> | uncheck the "Detect language automatically" and "Do
not check spelling or grammar" boxes | Default | OK.
c. Click on Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | check the
"Check spelling as you type" and "Check grammar with spelling"
boxes | uncheck the "Hide spelling errors in this document only"
and "Hide grammar errors in this document only" boxes | OK.

2. If the previous suggestion doesn't help, then in Word 2007
click on Office Button | Word Options | Add-Ins | Manage:
Disabled Items. If you see any disabled items that relate to
spelling, try enabling them.

3. If the previous two suggestions don't help, then:
a. Close Word.
b. Start regedit. In your Windows registry, if the key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing
Tools\1.0\Override" exists, delete it.
c. Restart your computer.

Thank you so much!

When I selected all and went to Set Language you could tell somewhere in the
document it was set to 'Do not check spelling or grammar'.
