It can be frustrating when a spell-check isn’t working properly. Here are some steps you can take to try and troubleshoot this issue:

Check your settings: Make sure spell-check is enabled in the application settings you are using. For example, if you are using Microsoft Word, open it and check “Options” and make sure that “Check Spelling and Grammar” is enabled.
Uninstall and reinstall spell-check: In some cases, the spell-check may have been installed incorrectly or might have become corrupted. Uninstalling and reinstalling the spell-check may help address any potential issues.
Restart your computer: A simple restart of your computer can often help resolve the issue.
Check for updates: If you are using a third-party program, make sure you are running the most recent version of the software. This may help address any bug fixes.
Get professional help: If none of the above steps helped, it might be time to contact a professional. They may be able to identify and troubleshoot the issue in more detail and provide a solution.

I hope this helps and that you are able to get spelling check to work again in no time.

If spell check isn't working properly, try the following steps:

Check your internet connection: Spelling and grammar checkers require an internet connection to work properly. Make sure you have a stable internet connection before troubleshooting any further.
Check your software version: If you are using an older version of Microsoft Word, the spell check feature may not be available. Make sure you have the latest version of the software installed.
Make sure the feature is turned on: In some versions of Word, spell check can be turned off. To turn it back on, open the tools menu and select “Options”. In the “Options” window, select the “Spelling & Grammar” tab and make sure the check box next to the feature is checked.
Update your dictionary: If none of the above steps have worked, you may need to update your dictionary. Visit Microsoft's website [1] and navigate to the download page for the latest version of the dictionary you need. Then, download and install the file on your computer.

Hopefully these steps have helped you get spell check to work again. If you're still having issues, you may need to seek additional help from a technician.
