spell check
I've been using Word all day to write an essay and I've come back after a break to find the spelling and grammar files have gone. It still automatically changes some words if they're spelt wrong but it isn't picking up any other mistakes. I've tried restarting but no luck. Can someone help?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Do you mean that your 'Custom Dictionary' has been wiped, or that errors are not showing up as underlined red because you have previously checked and accepted / ignored errors?
If the latter, go to Tools > Options > select the 'Spelling & Grammar' tab, and somewhere here (depending on which version of Word you are running) you will see a button saying 'Recheck Document' or something similar.
If you click this, any errors in the text will re-appear with red underline, as if you hadn't previously checked it.
