Spell Checker not working

Spell Checker not working-Word 2007

Hi, I have tried to uncheck the 'hide spelling mistakes' box under the
'proofing' section of 'word options', but for some reason it is shaded grey
and will not allow to be unchecked. The grammar works fine but I have tried
everything (i think) and just cannot get Word to check spelling.

I would truly appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Check if the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override" exists and if it does delete it.

If that is not the problem

Office Button >Word Options > Add Ins > Manage (select disabled items) >
Click on the English dictionary and re-enable it.
Close and re-open Word and Outlook.
