I opened the registry editory and could not find the file listed that
you mentioned to delete: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Override\en-US" The only file listed was
"Default." Per another posting, I switched my Language Preferences to
English (Australia) and restarted. This did not fix issue. The
preferences to hide spelling errors isn't checked. Any other
suggestions?

In the Office Setup (Add/Remove Programs) under Office Shared Features make
sure the Proofing Tools are set to "Run from My Computer"

Thanks Beth...Feel kind of stupid asking this, but I don't know where
to access "Office Setup (Add/Remove Programs) under Office Shared
Features." I'm running Vista with Word 2007. Tried looking for it, but
to no avail.

Click the Vista orb in the taskbar (also called the Start button, even
though it doesn't say Start anymore). In the Start Search box, type:

programs and features

Actually, by the time you've typed the word "and", "Programs and Features"
will have appeared under Programs. Click on it. This will get you Vista's
equivalent of the Add/Remove Programs part of the Control Panel. From there,
look for Microsoft Office ___ 2007. ___ depends on which version of Office
you have. If you have only Word, and not Office, it might be called
Microsoft Office Word 2007 (I don't know, since I've never installed just
Word... always Office). With Office or Word selected, click on Change, which
is above the list of programs.
