It doesn't find misspelled words, it scans the document then comes back with no mistakes.

Is it showing a red line underneath the incorrect word?

[jrosenboom32]

No, it doesn't show anything. You could spell the entire document wrong and it won't find a single word.

I have seen a few fixes for this problem. See if any of them help.

If not, you may want to try downloading the latest update for Word 2000.

Make sure word has a language set.
Format&gt;language&gt;set language.

Your not typing in all caps are you? Word, by default ignors words in caps. To uncheck click tools&gt;options&gt;spelling & grammer and uncheck the box that says ignor words in uppercase.
