I have just tried copying entire document & pasting to new doc with "keep text only" & at that point, spell check is correct, but I have now lost all my formatting & as it will take some time to re-do entire document, I am not sure that I am ahead. I tried pasting to new doc with "keep source formatting" but I had the same problem with no spell check
Try clicking on a misspelled word and pressing Shift+F1. You should see something like this:



Under Font formatting does it say : Language: Do not check spelling or grammar? That indicates that the language setting for that word is set to not check. Click on the screenshot to go to Suzanne Barnhill's article on this.

The screenshot above is from a computer with only one language installed, with spelling and grammar installed and active. This is a character(font)-level formatting in Word.
