Default
Every character in a Word document can have its own individual proofing characteristic.

The text in your document is marked with the no-proofing option. Select the text and apply the required language and uncheck the 'Do not check spelling' check box. Note that the text is formatted with the Normal paragraph style which also has the no proofing option set, which is probably why the problem occured in the first place. See attached:

Rather than use the default style with manual formatting, create styles that reflect the formatting that you wish to use and apply it to the paragraphs.
