Word Spell Check Turned Off

[Cibolo-Jack]

We are editing a document created by another user and Spell Check is not finding mis-spelled words. Hitting F7 jumps directly to Grammar checking. Under Tools/Options/Grammar and Spelling checking 'check spelling as you type' has no effect.

This behavior is only exhibited in this one document and it travels with the document.

I've been pulling my hair out for 3 days over a 100+ page plan that wouldn't spell check. I was going to post a question tonight, but thought I would do a quick search first. Lo and behold, you had the answer right at your fingertips and it worked perfectly. I have no idea how you are able to retain this much incredibly arcane information about the proclivities of our favorite office suite, but I bow in your presence. Thanks.

ROFL!! Stop grovelling!
My goal is to get 1,000 articles up there before I even THINK about slowing down. Please... you can help me too. If you find something out that was "beyond the help files" or the help files sucked ('cause they really do now!!), then send in the "suggest an article" form over there. I'd consider it a huge, huge favor!

See, I wrote that article for Jack last night. BUT, I knew others could benefit, too. Those are exactly the kinds of articles I'm trying to put up over there.
