I'm currently running on XP x64. I just upgraded to Office 2007 from Office
2003. I'm trying to get the default english spell checker to work. Everything
works great except the spell checker in all Office programs. It wont
recognize misspelled words automatically or manually. When I manually spell
check the document it will say that 'The spelling check is complete.' without
any errors. I've tried all the settings in the Proofing section as well as
made sure the correct language was selected. I've also done the ctrl-a and
set the correct language and unchecked 'Do not check spelling or grammar' and
unchecked 'Detect language automatically'. I'm at a loss as to why it doesn't
work and can only guess that it has something to do with my machine being a
64-bit. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great, thanks!

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to find a solution?
