I have a word document in Word 2003  .   I was altering it and noticed that from page 3 to 6 the spell checker does not work.

I transferred the pages into another another file still didn't work .  Just copied a paragraph still didn't work.  So I then started typing the rest of the document into another file and straight away it underlined my spelling mistakes in red. So why not in these few pages of my document.

This is a paragraph from the pages below.  I altered some words deliberately to see if my Word 2003 would pick them up.  It didn't. 

The landlord shall be entitiled to pursue the tenant for any reasonable costs incurred as a result of the tenants faulure to pay rent including but not limited to any charges for returned cheques or any reasonable costs incurred in pursuing the tenant for payment of unpaid rent.

But when I put it in here it does pick them up.  So it is something I have done .

Select the text.

Select Tools > Language > Set Language.

Make sure that the check box "Do not check spelling or grammar" is clear (it must neither be ticked not grey), then click OK.

If that doesn't help:

Select Tools > Options...

Activate the Spelling and Grammar tab.

Click the button Recheck Document.

Click OK.

Hi,

According to your description, this issue is more related to Word. The Word IT Pro Discussions forum is a better place for word questions, we will move it there for you.
