Sorry, but turning spell checking on or off is a system setting. You can
also, though turn it off for certain text. I regularly do this for citations
which contain proper names, as a part of a character style. It is under the
language settings because you can also tell Word that certain text is in a
different language and needs to be checked using that language instead of
the one you usually type in.
However, it would be nice if there could be a duplicate checkbox to control
it on the spelling and grammar options.

hallelujah to DaveEllisInNY ! why in the world does MicroSoft insist on
hiding various steps in so many different places? spell check is spell
check, and to hide a default "don't check spelling" in one place that
overrides a "please check spelling" somewhere else is ludicrous (and
that's
the only thing that I can think of that won't get me in trouble with the
censors!). by the by -- some other user (there are a bunch of us who use
this particular machine) clicked the hidden override when no one was
looking.

You might want to check the following setting in MS Word:
Tools... Language... Set Language
- make sure there is no check mark in the box "Do not check spelling or
grammar"
I didn't know the setting existed, but when I accidentally found it,
there
was a check mark in the box, so my spell check wasn't working. I removed
the
check mark and it works fine now.

Spanish.. I have the same problem with Spanish and rebooting and
writing meaningless stuff and selecting them and telling MS-word to

languages' spellcheck? Hope I spelled all the words correctly in this
:)
