Spelling and grammar check issue

[Plugger01]

How do I re-enable spellcheck for text marked "Do not check spelling and
grammar" in a word 2007 document?

I can't tell what text is marked that way, and I don't know how to fix it.

HELP PLEASE!!!

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.

First press Ctrl+A to select the entire document body, assuming you don't
want to leave behind any text that's marked for no checking.

Go to the Review ribbon. In the Proofing group, click the Set Language
button (the icon is a green globe with a book and a red check mark). Near
the bottom of the dialog that appears, click the "Do not check spelling or
grammar" box once or twice until it's empty (no check and no green square).
Click OK.

If you still get the message when you check spelling, you need to repeat
this procedure in the headers and footers.
