556212 2007-06-05 02:33:00 sorry this is a mundane problem so hopefully i can get this solved quickly. Im working on a term paper so i NEED spell check, and now my microsoft word 2006 has just decided it doesnt want to anymore, i didnt change any settings or anything, i could type sjadhaskjdhaskjfd into my document and all it would do is capitalize the S at the beginning.

What am i to do?

Thanks!

556213 2007-06-05 02:50:00 Man..dooooood! I had the exact same problem and couldn't fix it...so I just switched to OpenOffice and continued.

It re-associated all the Office files for itself..and I haven't looked back...not at all.

...but I still want to see what happens here...I wish you well..sorry I have nothing better to add than drop it for something better.

556214 2007-06-05 02:52:00 I guess you looked in Tools/Options/Spelling and Grammar (or Word 2006 equivalent?) to see what is checked and what not? Rossini (12327)
556215 2007-06-05 03:03:00 mm never mind... when i fully closed word and opened it again it went back to normal... thats a weird bug bendetto (7615)
556216 2007-06-05 03:11:00 Nah..it is amazing that all twenty-gazillion lines of code can be kept straight and you just got a M$ repair when it realized (Dr. Watson?) that it had a problem and fixed itself.

Windows is constantly repairing files and missed code all the time..it was just your turn to see it happen for once.

556219 2007-06-05 05:25:00 But it still isn't working correctly: It doesn't seem to be capitalizing "i". ;) Graham L (2)
