How Spell-Checking Works in Word. A contributor to Mac OS X Hints has posted his workaround here, after finding difficulties getting Word to default to UK English while he was using an Irish keyboard.
Spell check is not working on a co-workers Word in Office for Mac 2016. When you type something with incorrect spelling, the words are not highlighted as being incorrect. When you to up to Tools - Spelling and Grammar it comes up as Spelling and Grammar complete. There are two accounts on the laptop - an administrators account and the co-workerʻs account I initially made sure that Word was updated to the latest version No change I delete all Office preference files and restarted. After restart, I logged into the Administrators account and typed some incorrect words. Initially it didnʻt immediately show the words as incorrect but when I when up to Tools - Spelling and Grammar, it showed the Spelling and Grammar Preferences window (with Dictionary Grammar etc) with the first word as being incorrect in red.
After clicking OK etc and the Preferences window closed, it then showed ALL the incorrect words and any further incorrect words typed also showed incorrectly. When I went into the co-workers account, it wouldnʻt show any incorrectly typed words as mispelt.
I checked the Spelling and Grammar settings in both accounts and they were the same. I deleted all Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac application files including the preference files and reinstalled Office for Mac 2016.
I updated all Applications to the latest version. As before, misspelt Words showed as incorrect in the Administrator account (again after going up to Tools - Spelling and Grammar and closing the Spelling and Grammar Preferences window as described above, but when we went into the co-workers account, misspelt words did not show up as being mispelt and when you go up to Tools - Spelling and Grammar, it comes up as Spelling and Grammar complete.
Any help with this, greatly appreciated. Hello, I'm an independent advisor that Microsoft asked to assist customers.
I'm an experienced user of Office but do not speak for Microsoft. I've been assisting my fellow users for more than 20 years. I hope I can help you. The underlying problem may be the user's normal.dotm file. To see if this is likely, take a document prepared by the problem account and open it on another computer where it is working properly.
Are the errors flagged in the second computer? If not, find and rename the normal.dotm file on the problem computer. The following information applies to this problem in a single document and is provided as background on what may be happening.
I am assuming you mean that obviously misspelled words are not being flagged. This is most likely a proofing language problem.
The 'proofing language' is a key to several Word features including spelling and grammar and AutoCorrect. It is not an application-wide setting nor even a document setting; it is set at the character level! To see if this is the source of your problem:. Select (or create and select) a misspelled word. Then under the Review tab, click on the 'Language' button. Pick 'Select Proofing Language' from the short menu.
Look at the bottom of the dialog that appears. If the checkbox that says 'Do not check spelling or grammar' is not empty, click on it until it is clear. Does this make a difference? See this screenshot: If it does make a difference, then Ctrl+A to select all text in your document and repeat the language selection. If the problem occurs regularly, it is probably a problem with one or more Style definitions. If this is the problem, write back for more help. Try clicking on a misspelled word and pressing Shift+F1.
You may see something like this: Under Font formatting does it say: Language: Do not check spelling or grammar? The screenshot above is from a computer with only one language installed, with spelling and grammar installed and active. This is a character(font)-level formatting in Word. You may want to look at Suzanne Barhill's article on the spelling checker. It is the definitive article. I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions or require further help.
If above didn't work, I will supply more troubleshooting steps to solve this problem. Regards Please mark helpful or answered as appropriate to help other users.

Charles Kenyon Attorney at Law Madison, Wisconsin wordfaqataddbalancedotcom http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm. Hi Charles, The co-worker came back into the office so was able to grab her laptop for a minute or so. I tried a file with miss spelt words in that account and it didnʻt detect them???
However I went back into her account, selected a word and did the Review - Language thing and chose English (UK - we are in New Zealand) and it detected the word. Did select all and repeated the Review Language thing and it found all errors. Made a new document with errors and it detected them straight away. Made another, detected them straight away. Gave it back to the co - worker, she made a new document, same account, etc, absolutely no changes to how she did it, and it didnʻt work:-( Showed her how to do the Review - Language thing and it is working again. I noted that English (UK) was not an option in the small panel at the top of the Language window when she went to action it so maybe it just didnʻt ʻstickʻ after I did it??? At least she has got a method to check the spelling of her work on very important public documents, which is what she was worried about.
Any further ideas much appreciated but thanks for giving us a solution in the meantime. I used English (UK) in preference to English (Aus) because there was a problem with the Spell check not working in Word 2004 when English (AUS) was selected.
Probably sorted by now but just being over cautious Cheers Redbeard.
