Help needed MS word spellcheckers gone - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

aphex140 · 08-24-2005, 07:53 AM

Hi All as some have seen in my posts spelling is not a strong point but late night mean the fingers some time work in their own accord.
The spell checker function has disappeared from word.

I have tried customising and dragging the button on to the tool but but nothing happens when it is clicked. Help me before I get sacked.

Thanks

Can you try reinstalling Word/Office to see if that gives you the feature back?

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.
