Probably part of your text is set to No Proofing. You have to assign a
language to the text for Word to spellcheck it.
To test this, with the cursor in a word that isn't being checked, go to
Tools | Language and see what comes up selected.
To assign a language, select all text and use Tools | Language.
This may have happened if you pasted in some text that was already set to No
Proofing, and then kept hitting enter and typing from that block of text.
If this happens in multiple documents, you may need to use a style-based
solution instead of the manual formatting solution given above. Post back
if so.
