I thought there was a setting somewhere that auto-corrected swapped letters, but I might be mistaken; and it's not working in any case

But with or without that swapped-letter setting, shouldn't Word pick these up anyways? With the swapped letter, they still aren't real words...
I can't speak to the spellcheck part of the problem, but may be able to help with the autocorrect.

Swapped letter correction is handled via autocorrect feature; there must be an entry for that specific misspelling--it doesn't look like the default Word autocorrect list has any of the ones you listed.

If those are typos you commit often, you can add to the autocorrect list (File>Options>Proofing>AutoCorrect Options)
