Text marked with "Do not check spelling or grammar" was sk..

Herb,
I am receiving the same message Text marked with 'Do Not check spelling or
gramar' was skipped and I have done the select all -
Tools-Find-More-Format-Select Language and the dialog box "Do not check
spelling" is NOT checked. I also checked to see if there was a textbox
within the document and there was not. Can you give me any other ideas about
correcting this problem? Thanks!

Hello,
I have had this same problem and more. When I click my spelling box in
Outlook (2007) the first box that appears is this:

"Cannot find proofing tools for English (U.S.). If you have the proofing
tools, try installing them or re-installing them. Contact your local reseller
to Obtain Office Proofing Tools. For information, see the Microsoft Office
Suite"

Once I click OK, the other box is underneath it:
"The spelling check is complete. Text marked with 'Do not check spelling or
grammer' was skipped."

Does anyone have some ideas for me? Thanks for your time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tammy and Herb. This is exactly what I
needed to solve my problem. Many, many blessings. Now I can continue writing
my paper for my masters class.

Hi Herb, Im having the same issue as Tammy (language will not show up in the
status bar) I tried removing all check marks and just toggling the check mark
on/off for languages but nothing happens.
I eventualy got to languages another way but it is set correctly
English(United States) I tried resetting it several ways including English
default option. I continue to get the spell check error "text was skipped" I
am using an APA formated version of Word2007, I read on MS site it could have
someting to do with page numbers listed in header box or something to do with
comments option? I have read and read and tried everything. I am at wits end.
Can you help?

Thank You
Jeff

If you start Word in Safe mode (press Ctrl as Word is starting; click Yes to
the safe mode prompt), does the language indicator show up in the status bar
then?
