Microsoft Word problem

[pX]

First, look at this

Obviously a spelling error there, nothing reported. I can start a new doc, and type some jibberish and it WILL catch it. However, if I copy/paste this 12+ page paper I am working on into it, it does not. The paper as a bunch of figures in it, and some of the text was copy/pasted from a openoffice document. But I see no reason for it not to work..


Any ideas?!

Go in the spellcheck options.. I know theres something for it not to check uppercase stuff, and other stuff, maybe youll find soemthing for pasted text or soemthing.

Maybe somebody unchecked your spellcheck options??? Go into TOOLS OPTIONS and the SPELLING AND GRAMMAR tab and recheck all the spell check options. Maybe somebody was messing with your computer. OR, somebody accidentally added the MISSPELLED word to your custom dictionary. First try typing some truly misspelled words on a blank doc and see if anything comes up 'squiggly.' If not, it must have been unchecked under tools/options/spelling and grammar. If most incorrectly-spelled words still show up squiggly, the word in question was probably inadvertently added to your custom dictionary. Custom.dic is the name of the file. Search and you'll find it in the PROOF directory. You can double-click this file and edit it like a regular document. Find the offending word or words and delete them.
