So I tried almost everything and finally found something that works. It
is a very simple method and it requires almost no knowledge of
computers. All you have to do is follow these 10 simple steps.

1) First you need to open a Microsoft Word document
2) Click the MOB (Microsoft Office Button) at the top left corner
3) At the bottom of that menu is a button labeled "Word Options" (it's
next to "Exit Word")
4) On the left side is a list. Click "Add-Ins"
5) At the bottom of this menu there is a small box next to the word
Manage
6) Click that box and select "Disabled Items" from the list
7) Once you have selected this click the "Go" next to it
8) A new window will open and if on of the options has the words "Spell
Check" then select this
9) Once the option is selected then proceed with clicking Enable.
10) Close the "Word Options" menu and proceed to type an obvious
misspelled word to test it.

This should solve your problem. I don't know why the problem appeared
in the first place, but this is how to fix it.

Thanks from me too. I could not get it to work at all, and my tutor was
getting a little bored with silly mistakes. You are a whizz!!

I too experienced the "Word 2007 spell check not working" problem. I
called IT on campus (State University) and it was baffling to them as
well. Your fix worked instantly. Quick and easy; I am glad I didn't have
to go into the "regedit" fix that I saw on other sites. So, Thanks you
for your help.

OMG - I had the exact same problem and have been trying for WEEKS to
solve it! I'm a freelance editor, so you can imagine how big of a
problem this has been for me. I tried so many different things, like
renaming my user ID, etc. and none of it worked! This was so easy and
finally fixed my spell checker! Thank you so much!!

DON'T FORGET TO RESTART!!! after installation, I did and kept banging my
head with the spell check... just a simple restart helped, Spell check
works good now. Remember this forever, its the biggest remedy for all
Microsoft applications --- RESTART --- ;-)

Enjoy!

Had this problem today and fixed it very simply. I live in Ireland,
therefore where you see Ireland or Irish put you own language version in
its place.
I have noticed many suppliers do not supply PCs or Laptops with the
language setting set up correctly.
The options shown in the form work for some but those it does not work
for try this

Check the language settings on you PC

Click Start_
Click Control Panel
Click Date, Time, Language and Regional Options
Click Regional and Language options
Go through all the options and set everything to English (Ireland)
You may have to add the Irish language in one of the options, if so add
it and delete the other one
If there are two languages installed delete the non Irish one.

Click ok when done

Open Word
Click the windows Button in top left hand corner and select Word option
(bottom right)
Click Popular
Click Language Settings
Select English (Ireland) as the primary editing Language
Click ok
Close word and reboot PC
