Word 2010 problem

[Newchodge]

I am using Word 2010 and Windows Vista.

When I run the spell checker I get a message stating "Text marked with "do not check spelling and grammar" was skipped." No typing errors have been picked up.

I am not aware of asking for parts of text to be not checked. This is happening on all new blank template documents, and it appears to apply to the whole document.

I cannot see how to remove this not very useful tool. Any ideas?

I don't have Word 2010 here to check detailed steps, but try...
1. Select whole doc (Ctrl+A)
2. Go to Review menu
3. Fine the "Set Language" option which should be near the spell check options
4. You'll get a dialogue box pop up called "Language" but if you look at the bottom you'll hopefully have a "Do not check spelling or grammar" check box. Make sure it's unchecked and click OK and see if that helps.

Thanks. That worked. Silly of me not to realise that deciding whether to spell check would be included in the language option!

Good news! I find much of Word's behaviour baffling
