Spell checker is not working on Microsoft Word 2007 Home and Office?

I have 07 pro. I would check you settings. to do so, gp to the office on, and click word options. After that, click proofing. Once you are in that area, look for a section called "When correcting spelling and Grammar in Word". Click check spelling as you type. That should be the first Option in that section. Then click OK. To test the spelling and Grammar, type a misspelled word, then click the spelling and grammar on and see what happens.
