Spell Check

[jason]

Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!

1. From Start button > Run
2. Type regedit
3. Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0

You might want to rename 1.0 to something like 1.0 old if you don't want to
lose your custom dictionary.

I'm having a similar problem. My spell check doesn't work in any of my
Office programs. In my current word document, I checked to see if the "Do
not check spelling or grammar" box was checked and it was not. I have set it
so that the language is not automatically detected (it is set to English),
and I have checked the box that says "Check spelling as you type". None of
these things worked. What else can I try?

Hi Everyone,

I to have the same problem. When I upgraded to MS2007 I lost my spellcheck
and dictionary. The only message I received (vista OS) was that I required a
third party spellcheck program. I emailed MSN Customer support on February
10, 2008. This was their response:

"When you upgrade earlier versions of Office to the 2007 MOS, the old
spell-checking files are removed for some languages. These files are replaced
with newer versions included in the 2007 MOS and they are currently
incompatible with the MSN software."

"Rest assured that the product group is aware of the situation and is taking
steps to address this in the next clent release. However, there is no
estimated time frame for this new release." Etc., etc................

They told me to come to this forum for advice.

This worked for me. I was searching for an answer earlier this month as my
Word Spellcheck had stopped working and I had posted a thread around the
12th. Outlook, etc. continued to work but Word had stopped. We have 4 new
PC's and mine is the only one that had the problem. I had checked just about
all the settings between PC's to see what was different.

Hi Pensio. I am having the same issue with Word 2003. I've tried following
you path but I get to proofing tools and get "custom dictionaries" with two
files. One is labeled as "default" and the other is "1". Both are type
REG_SZ. there is no data listing for "default" but "1" is CUSTOM.DIC. What
are my options? YOur assistance seems to have been great for a lot of users.
I really hope that you can assist me. Also, responses to my email do not
work so you can email me direct at (e-mail address removed). Thanks in advance.

I have followed all the post and other strings as well to solve my problem
with spell checker. I have a Student Edition of Office Enterprise '07 and
getting pretty frustrateded with this whole thing. Spell check does not work
in Outlook or Word, but the Grammer check does. I am looking for more options
or ideas, or a patch that would fix this problem. Is there another
dictionary that I can download and use insted (instead)?

Thank you my spell check is now working again for all programs after doing
this and then reinstalling the disk.

Did you have to uninstall first. I went through the above but wasn't sure
what you were talking about when you said reinstalling the disk. I'm having
similar problems with spell check and when I did it it worked but only on
that one document. Let me know. THanks,

Hello pensio,

I have a spell checking problem with Word 2007 that I have not seen
addressed in this forum. My spell check works fine through most of my
document but then it stops working for some paragraphs. I was typing a paper
today and all of a sudden in the middle of a paragraph it stopped working. I
could enter misspelled words and it would not underline them and when I
checked the document with the spell check button it found no misspelled
words. As I moved down my document to the next header the spell checking
started working again. Please let me know what I can do to correct this. The
boxes for not checking spelling are not checked so that is not it. This error
with the program could adversly affect my grades in my masters level program
and that is unacceptable for me. Please led me a hand and find the cause of
this problem.

Dear Ryan,

Its not related to update or other things that is written earlier I guess.

I used to face the same problem but its solved now.

It depends on the language settings in your computer. if you make your
default language English, spell check will be done, else, would not. email :
(e-mail address removed) for further clarification.

Thanks, Regards, Arif
