MS Office Forum / Word / Spelling and Grammar / March 2008Microsoft Word 2007 not recognizing misspelled words
I have just started using Word 2007 (was using office 2003) and my spellcheck is only catching the grammatical mistakes but not the spelling errors. I.E. only green curlys and no red ones. I have already ensured that: "Do not check spelling and grammar" "Detact language automatically" "Hide spelling errors in this document only" "Hide grammar error in this document only" are ALL UNchecked. It is not just that the automatic checker is not working. I can type blatantly misspelled words like "hfkdgifg" into the document and manually click check spelling and grammar. The check comes back with the "spelling and grammar check is complete" without finding one single spelling error in the whole document of misspellings. I don't know the answer for certain, but here's something you can check. Try going to Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings (in your start menu under Microsoft Office Tools) and ensuring that your primary language is showing in the 'primary editing language' box? > I have just started using Word 2007 (was using office 2003) and my spellcheck > is only catching the grammatical mistakes but not the spelling errors.

I checked and the language is indeed set to English US. I figured out the problem. Instead of upgrading to microsoft office 2007, I had both simultaneously installed. When I decided that I did indeed like the new 2007 version, I uninstalled Office 2003. Apparently when I did this it took with it the dictionary file. To fix this I reinstalled only the dictionary from the Office 2003 CD. (I just installed the proofing section from the list) For some reason (unknown to me) the dictionary install from the Office 2007 CD did not fix the problem. I am currently having the same problem aaarrrgh, trying to get my old dictionary back now  SignaturePlease help me > I figured out the problem.

Do you still have the install CDs from your previous version? If you do, go through the setup and select the option that allows you to do custom setup. You should see all the applications that you can install with different options respented by pictures such as a disk. Expand the microsoft word section and look through the option for proofing. Set this section to install and the rest of the options and programs set to not install (Disk with red x). It has been awhile since I did this, but I think this is correct. > I am currently having the same problem aaarrrgh, trying to get my old > dictionary back now [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > For some reason (unknown to me) the dictionary install from the Office 2007 > > CD did not fix the problem. Thank you, it was really handy to find someone else who had the same issue. Sorted out now!

Hello. I eagerly read the previous posts because I have the same spell check problem, only worse. My copy of Office 2003 was factory installed and the dictionary file will not re-install. Microsoft states that 2003 and 2007 cannot co-exist in any event, so what's the deal, folks? Do I need to go outside Microsoft and find an independent spell checker that will function with Word 20007, just as I had to do with Outlook 2007? Where is the company guru when we need her? Thanks for any clues. SignatureCW111LS > Thank you, it was really handy to find someone else who had the same issue. > Sorted out now!
