I am sure that you have checked that the language is set correctly (CTRL+A, Tools, Language, Select the required language).

I don't know whether your version of Word has the built-in spellchecker for the language that you are checking. I have installed the special Microsoft Disk for 50 languages which I've bought separately from Word - cannot remember what it is called but I have referred to it several times in other threads. Sometimes old dictionaries no longer work with new programmes. My electronic pop-up Oxford dictionary, bought only last year, no longer works with Vista on my new laptop! ▲ Collapse

Hi. As mysteriously as it occurred, the problem has disappeared. Thanks anyway.
