Word 10.1.4 - NO SPELL CHECK

NO SPELL OR GRAMMAR CHECK

I have a question for you folks.

I use Office X 10.1.4, specifically, Word and Entourage.
Just recently I noticed that Word DOES NOT check spelling.
Entourage still checks the spelling just fine.

I've spent about two hours troubleshooting, checking file paths,
knowledge bases, newsgroups etc.

To test, I intentionally misspell a word and a window prompt pops up
immediately after I click spell check:

³The Spelling and Grammar check is complete, Text set to
(no proofing) was skipped, To find (no proofing) text,
click Edit/Replace, click More, click Format, click
language and choose (no proofing).²

I checked this out. After 8 years of using Word I never
had the need to drill down into this obscure feature.
I went ahead and clicked on ³English US².

Do you have any suggestions?

If that dialog shows up, that means that "no proofing" text exists in your
document. Make sure your default language is set to English. Go to Tools
-> Language, select "English (US)", and click the "Default" button to set it
as default. Does that help?
