Spell Check not working in Word – Office | Microsoft Learn

 

I had been confounded with Word spell check not working until I finally found the root cause of the issue. This happened one day while working on a proposal for a prospective client. I began to notice that the Word spell check had seemingly stopped working. Go to Home Styles area right-click on the Style e. Click OK all the way back out, save your document, and then close and re-open Word. As it turned out, the document had a lot of embedded Swedish text that had been copied from a Swedish source.

The solution that I found was to make sure of everything mentioned above, including correcting, saving, closing, and then opening the document. But the final step that fixed it was then to CTRL-A to select the entire text, copy it, open a totally new blank document in Word no templates , and paste the text into that new file.

Save it under a new file name; close it, open it, and then try spellchecking. All should be well now. You can now browse the entire document and look for spelling errors as it will be back working. Thanks for putting together this page — it let me return my document spellcheck to my original settings. It took a good hour of faff to sort this problem out, and I feel Microsoft now owes me for the intellectual property value of what I could have written instead of wasting an hour searching the net for a workable fix.

Thanks, this was exactly the issue I had and helped to resolve. Some times I have only grammar then only spelling but more often nothing at all. Tried to check the boxes restart word and then uncheck them and restart again. I hate it! But still no red underline spelling yet. Even if the Hide option is unchecked. It makes me crazy. Why has it to be THIS difficult!?

For no apparent reason this is often checked. This is often already unchecked. I re-used this procedure several times successfully by now and also saved it in my troubleshooting for future use. It works like this, but what a mess! None of the above worked for me. Thank you very much for your suggestion but neither that worked for me. Your email address will not be published.
