Resolved How is it posible to have WORD without spell check

I got my new disc of WORD 2007. I see all kinds of words misspelled. I can't find spell check anywhere.

I look on the internet and don't see the box to check. I read to hit F7, it brings up that spell check is complete, but all the words are still misspelled.

I see a box checked with, "Hide spelling errors in this document only" but it's greyed out.

How is it possible that MS would put out a Word Processor and not have a spell checker? I find this amazing.

No matter how good Microsoft is, this trumps anything good about them. You put out word without a spell checker that works.

P.S. I did find one way, by cutting and pasting to OpenOffice and spell checking there, then paste it back to Word. There has to be a better way.

 

Maybe 'Proofing Tools" didn't get installed when you installed WORD? Get your disc and see if it's installed.

 

OK, I checked, and that's what was wrong. When you install WORD from Office, the "tools" are a separate thing to install.

I went back and installed it, now I have spell checker.

One thing I would like to change is, I want to have the red line under a misspelled word. Noting happens until I click 'Spell Check"
How do I get it to underline as I type a misspelled word?

Don't see, "Check spelling as you type" anywhere.

Thank you,
Chris.

 

Thank you for the replys,
Mine is checked but it doesn't show the red line.
When I closed the program and opened it, it now works.

Thank you Arie for the help.
