What happen to the dictionary in Word X??

I don't what happen I reinstalled it recently and when I now do spell check,
it doesn't offer any suggestions at all, even the at the most obvious
mistakes. However, the spell check works okay in Entourage, isn't it the
same dictionary used in Word?

Probably part of your text is set to No Proofing, or the wrong language.
You have to assign a language to the text for Word to spellcheck it.

To test this, with the cursor in a word that isn't being checked, go to
Tools | Language and see what comes up selected.

To assign a language, select all text and use Tools | Language.

If this happens in all new documents, you may need to use a style-based
solution instead of the manual formatting solution given above. In that
case, go to Format | Style, click on Modify, check "add to template" but not
"automatically update" and use the dropdown Format menu to set a Language
for the Normal style.

Nope it's still not spell checking, in all new documents and in the English
language. I guess I'll try to reinstalled it again.

Okay I just figured it out, there's a checkbox in the spelling preferences
that says "Always suggest corrections" okay I check it and it works!
