Solution: Spell Check in Word 2007 not working

A friend dropped over her laptop saying the spell check in her Word 2007 wasn’t working. Apparently lot of users seem to have this problem.

There are many reasons but in this case, the solution was quite simple as outlined at this forum post.

Apparently the spellcheck add-in was disabled. Word Option>Addins>Disabled Addins and Go… shows the disabled addin which can be easily enabled.

Spell check works now and she owes me one. I am gonna ask for a pizza in return for the troubleshooting session. :p
