I just noticed this morning that my spell checker wasn’t working (outlook and word) in 2007. I googled around and it only seems to happen when you upgrade, not for a fresh install.

I don’t know how many misspellings I’ve been sending out for the past two weeks since I upgraded. I’m too horrified to even think about it. If you find yourself in the same boat, this was the fix that I found:

In your registry settings delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0

That seemed to fix everything.

For the record, I did run the MS Office Diagnostics tool first. But that didn’t fix the problem.
