Spell check does weird things

There is a user here who has a weird problem with Outlook/Word spell
checking. When she creates a new note, spell check does not engage. You
can run the check manually and even if there are definite misspells, it
takes about half a second to come back and say the spell check is
complete (Outlook is using Word as the editor). When I copy the text
from the e-mail and paste it into a new/clean Word document, the spell
check still doesn't engage. However, if I type text in to a blank Word
doc, the spell check does engage and immediately recognizes misspelled
words. Another interesting note: after I copy the text from the e-mail
and paste it in a blank Word doc, right clicking on any of the text
only gives two options: Signature1 and Add Signature... Very strange.
You don't get any of the normal options in Word like Copy, Cut, Paste,
etc.. Anyone ever seen anything like this? Unfortunately, this is
intermittent, so I need to try to figure out what the variable is that
causes it sometimes and not others.

The text is being formatted, somehow, as "do not check spelling or grammar."
I don't know enough about the Outlook-Word interface to know what template
is being used, if any, and how to change it, though.
