Word spell check failure

I own the latest academic edition of Office 2004: Mac and have
recently begun experiencing wildly uneven spell checking performance
in Word and have exhausted all Help remedies and friendly advice.
I am working on a 100 page manuscript and recently began using Comic
sans font on the screen to write inasmuch as it will be the font in the
printed version. Since the shift, whenever I try to spellcheck a
section, Word pops up with:
The spelling check is Complete. Text set to (no proofing) was skipped.
To find (no proofing) text, click Edit/Replace, click More, click
Format, click language and choose No proofing.
I've tried every option within the above instructions -- choosing
English (US), choosing No Language. No change. There is a check box in
the Language box that says Do not check spelling or grammar, and it is
neigher checked or blank but rather has a blue dash in it. ? I've tried
clicking there to remove the dash, leaving the check box now blank, and
still no change.
I knew that Comic Sans is actually a faux font, being a screen font in
Regular and Bold iteration only, I figured perhaps Word can't
recognize the font to check it. So I began using Book Antigua to see if
it helped. Sometimes spellcheck works, sometimes it doesn't. Even when
I deliberately introduce a spelling error, no change. I'm flummixed --
and sorely in need of a reliable spell checking capacity.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
