My spell and grammar checker in Microsoft Word isn't working, how do I make it work??????

Question

I'm talking about Microsoft Word not my internet.

Answer 1

If it is not working from the Tools menu, go to Tools, Options, Spelling and Grammar tab and make sure that "Hide grammatical errors. . ." isn't checked. Try starting Spelling/Grammar checker from this tab, too. If this doesn't work, be sure to save your document, close Word completely and open the document again.

Answer 2

Before you start looking into the root cause of the problem, do the following maintenance steps and if the problem persists, go to Microsoft's Word community help groups and give them a complete picture of when, how and what of the problem. They are supposed to be the experts.

For now, do this:

HOW TO DO A THOROUGH CLEAN UP (Windows XP)
While you are connected to the Internet do the following:
1. Click on tools ... Internet options. There you will see three buttons next to each other... "Delete Cookies" ... "Delete Files" and "Settings." Also, below the settings button you will see another one "Clear history."
2. Click on "settings" - go to "Edit" - Click on "select all" - Go to files, click delete and wait till all useless files are gone.
3. Go back and click on "delete cookies" and wait till all cookies are gone
4. Go back and click on "Delete files," put a check mark on the little white square shown on the small window that will open, click OK and wait for a little.
5. Go back and click on "Clear history", click “yes” and you are done.
6. Now do a check disk and a defrag, then restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved.
7. If the problem persists, get on the internet and look in the Yahoo search for the Tune-Up Utilities 2006 site; go to that site and download their free trial program, familiarize your self with it and use it to clean up your registry automatically. It is an excellent little program and does wonders with PC maintenance tasks along many other helpful and useful chores.

Hope this helps
