You don't need to do an entire install - just a repair/install on the spellchecker.

See if you can spellcheck in another MS Office package - they all share the spellchecker - if the actual software has been corrupted, you will not be able to spellcheck in any of them.

Also - try hitting f7 instead.

The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
