Hi there,

I hope someone can help me because I am about to blow a gasket. I am going to try give as much detail as possible and attach a few screen shots to try explain what is going on.

I am going to use just one document, but the same thing has been happening with several documents from different people - although they have all been downloaded from the same platform (Fiverr - in case that has any bearing). But not ALL the documents I have downloaded are doing this. I am running MS Office 2013 on Windows 8.1 but I have no idea about the OS or MS Office version these files are coming from.

The first screen shot shows the document when I first open it. As you can see, there seems to be no problems. But because I have to make some changes to the actual writing and that is easier to track in a new file, I also prefer my own formatting style and layout so I always copy across into another file. But when I do, every single word in the document (well almost) gets marked as mispelled (second screenshot).

My default past option is 'Keep text only' so no formatting etc should copy across.
I have checked the language AND the proofing options on the original doc AND my new doc which are both set to English (US) (and I 'select all' when I do this).
I have made sure that my New Document Template is formatted properly and working the way it should with other files and documents.
If I copy and paste WITHIN the document (so copy something in the document and paste it into the same doc) the PASTED text gets marked as mispelled.
If I type text into a blank document there is no problem, what I type is checked properly - wrong is wrong and right is right.
Not ALL the documents I am downloading are doing this - I can copy from one to another with no problems (even to the problem document).


I have copied the text into Notepad which normally clears all formatting, then shut down ALL MS office programs, opened a new blank doc and pasted from notepad - everything from the problem doc is 'mispelled'.
If I make any changes in the problem document, some words before or after what I changed get marked as mispelled but everything else is fine.

From all this I have figured out that there is clearly a problem with the original document, but that problem is carried over when I copy and paste - which is the root of all my problems.

Because this has happened a couple of times before and I DO NOT have the time to retype every single word every time it does, I am looking for a cause I can understand which may lead to a solution OR a cause & solution OR a simple solution.

I have downloaded the document multiple times to check that the file is not corrupting during the download so I'm pretty sure that isn't happening.

I am attaching the problem document so that anyone who thinks they can help can work with exactly what I have.

Hope someone can help and soon!!
