At office, we are in the process of upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2007. Couple of weeks ago, I decided to bite the bullet and upgraded to Office 2007. At first, the I wasn't comfortable with the new "Ribbon" interface, but the more I used it the more I liked it. I started noticing that Word was not doing a good job of catching my spelling mistakes; to prove myself correct, I typed bunch of garbage and there were no red underlines. I hit F7 and again it failed to register anything.
After a couple weeks of living without the spell check, I was annoyed enough to where I decided to google it. Seems like I wasn't the only dude having problems after upgrading. After trying several things that I read on blogs, my spelling didn't get any better. After looking more I stumbled upon Microsoft KB document that helped me out.
Basically, you have to delete a few registry keys. These are listed below. Please DO NOT take these steps lightly as your computer can become unusable. Always export your setting as a backup scenario. Once you delete these keys and start Word, it will regenerate these keys and you should be in business.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools
You can find the the original document from Microsoft here.
