Hi - As with other posters, my spelling and grammar preference is grayed out in MS Word 2011 (14.4.8) and Spell Check cannot be initialized in Excel 2011. I've followed the various suggestions I've found in other threads, most notably here. I've removed the microsoft.office and microsoft.Word.plist files with no joy. Click File Options Proofing, clear the Check spelling as you type box, and click OK. To turn spell check back on, repeat the process and select the Check spelling as you type box. To check spelling manually, click Review Spelling & Grammar.

In Microsoft Word, documents or portions of documents can have thefont associated with a language type. If a language is not specified,then you may get the error:

'The spelling and grammar check is complete. Text set to (no proofing)was skipped. To find (no proofing) text, click Edit/Replace, clickMore, click Format, click Language, and select (no proofing).'

This problem is often caused by incorrect conversion between versionsof Word. Word skips any text formatted without a language because itdoes not have a language to check against. So, to resolve thisproblem:

1. From the Edit menu, choose Select All to selectyour entire document.
2. From the Tools menu, select Language and thenSet Language.
3. Select English (US).
4. If you run the spelling or grammar checker again, it should nowwork.

Symptom
