Spell Check doesn't work on CAPPED words?
Jeeslawees 12/20/2008 12:13:18 AM
Using Word 2007 that came with Office 2007 for Small Business (not sure of
either versions). My OS is Vista Home Premium on an HP Media Desktop. Spell
Check does not work on capitalized words. For example, it will identify
abcdef as a misspelled word, but not ABCDEF. What gives?

Uncheck the box "Do not check capitalized words."

Office Button | Word Options | Proofing: clear the check box for "Ignore
words in UPPERCASE."

Thanks so much. I would have never thought to even look there.
