You might get this error message if your text is formatted as a
language for which you do not have proofing tools installed. Try
this: Open a document where this problem occurs, press Ctrl+A to
select all of the text, click on Tools | Language | Set Language
| <choose your language> | uncheck the "Detect language
automatically" and "Do not check spelling or grammar" boxes |
Default | OK. Then press F7 to rerun spelling and grammar
checks, and save the document.

I had the same problem and this fixed it thanks! I think mine got messed up
when I was installing a bunch of forign language packs to help a user out.

Problem with Icons on menu bar

I too am having this problem so I tried this suggestion. The problem with
this is, I have to do it with each document. Is that normal??? I know that
this problem is VERY annoying.

This change affects the current document and all new documents
you create from this point forward. You will have to make this
change individually in your existing documents, and in documents
you receive from other people.

Problem with Icons on menu bar

It is not working for me for some reason. I do have to do it each time with
each document.

Is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on the computer? If yes, then the
Acrobat 7.0 Create Adobe PDF toolbar add-in for Word prevents
Word from automatically saving changes to the normal.dot template
(which is where some language settings are stored). See
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331259.html for several
solutions to the problem.
