Thanks Beth for this solution:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Override\en-US


worked like a charm...

Default Word 2007 Spell Check Issues

Bless you, CTFAN240!!! I tried everything to get my spell check working,
but your suggestion with the disabled add-in worked!!!!

I am not a hooplehead when it comes to PC's and software, but this one
had me stumped for days.
I have even tried the registry deletion to no avail.

So, for those of you with issue who have tried everything else, try
this:
Click on top left Word circle Icon
Go to bottom click on Word Options
Go to Add-ins
At bottom, should say "Manage: CD Add-ins" - change to "Disabled Items"
then hit Go...
This should bring up Spell-check add in - select this.
Try spell check... IT WORKS!!

Hope this helps others who are going crazy with this.

Spell check was not working in Word 2007, but grammar check was OK.
This is the solution that worked for me. Thanks for tip!

Default Word 2007 Spell Check Issues


I'm having a similar problem. I added a medical dictionary file to my
Word 2007 and now my spell checker doesn't come on automatically. It
must be clicked on each time. I've tried all of the tips listed in your
message but no luck. Any other ideas?

Default Word 2007 Spell Check Issues

Beth,

Do not know if you are still there, but THANK YOU! I have been w/o spell
check for weeks. My company's IT group was searching for a solution and no
one could find one. Today I started "googling" for an answer and finally
came by your suggestion.

Removing the registry key got my speller working again!

THANKS again!

and the Microsoft Office Button, you need to click it once for it to start
working. Note that this only applies to new installations and it will only
happen once.)

If that doesn't work then if no custom spell checker have been installed on
the computer, exit Word, and then backup and delete the following registry
key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Override\en-US

This key will be rebuilt the next time you start Word. Please let us know if
this resolves the issue. This resolution, found by Bob Buckland on another

When creating a new document in word 2007, obvious mispelled words are not
picked up by the spell checker. All settings and options have been double
check by my IT department, however it still does not work. The message
states
" The spelling and grammer check is complete" but the mistakes are not
picked
up. When I used the trial version I did not have any problems with this,
however once my office bought the full version spell check is no longer
working. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.



The deleting of the registry key does works after all for my case. Thanks Beth Melton =) Maybe u all could try it also if u manage to come across this article.

Default Word 2007 Spell Check Issues

Dear Beth, I have the same problem and your solution does not work! I do not
have a registry key to remove that is named:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Override\en-US

I DO HAVE:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared\Tools\ ProofingTools\1.0\Custom
Dictionary...&...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Office....I DO NOT HAVE ANY KEY WITH THE SUFFIX:

"Override\en-US"

What do I remove now? I have Office 2007 running on Vista. Any help
appreciated.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! OMG THIS WORKED

I have no idea what Beth was talking about. But I followed your simple
instructions and WAH-LA. You're my hero!!!

I didn't find the registry key either. However, I did the following and it
worked. You may try doing this also.

Click on Office button (top left) in word.
Click on word oprions button.
Click on Add-ins.
In the Manage box select "Disabled items" and click on Go.
In the dialog box select en-US spell checker if it is there and Click on
Enable.

Good Luck,
Tony

Default Word 2007 Spell Check Issues

I tried the advice below but it did not solve my problem. In the registry,
there is no such key in my system.

What else can I do to fix this?
