 * Resetting Spell Check in Word**

The automatic spell check had been inadvertently switched off. The steps below to turn it back on.

For the first, under the **Review** tab of the Ribbon, click the **Set Language** button. If a document has already been started that needs to be checked, use the keyboard shortcut **Ctrl+A** to select all the text in that document before proceeding.



In the **Find Language** dialog box, uncheck **Do not check spelling or grammar** and click **OK**.

To locate it in Word 2003, look under the **Tools** menu, select **Language**, and click **Set Language…** from the submenu.

This will bring up the **Find Language** dialog box.



A second method for accessing the **Find Language** dialog box is to use **Find and Replace**. Again, there are a couple methods for getting there. In Word 2007 or 2010, **Find** and **Replace** are located under the **Home** tab of the Ribbon (the image below is from Word 2007).



Once the **Find and Replace** dialog box appears, click the **More** button.

This will expand the box, revealing the **Format** button. Click that, and select **Language** from the menu to display the **Find Language** dialog box.
