HELP SPELLCHECK NOT WORKING IN WORKS
I am typing a fairly long document and up until page 80 everything was fab spell check working great. Suddenly stopped recognising particular words mis-spelt tried everything in options, auto correct etc to no avail.
I attempted to mis spell the same word on a page before 80 and it recognises word is wrong tried using my flash drive on a different computer but problem still the same:confused::confused:

The problem is probably in the length of the document. Spell Check wants to check the entire document but a large document could exceed memory requirements. You could play around with Virtual Memory (swap space on your hard disk) but the faster work-around for this problem is selecting a page for Spell Check to check. It will mean that after page 80, you type a page then Spell Check that page. Repeat the process to the end of the ducoment.
