Assuming you are using Microsoft Word, spell check can be turned on by following these steps:

Open the Microsoft Word program on your computer.
Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the screen.
Click on "Options" in the drop-down menu.
In the "Word Options" dialogue box that appears, click on "Proofing" in the left hand column.
Under the "Exceptions for" section, make sure that the "Hide spelling errors in this document" and "Hide grammar errors in this document" options are not selected/checked.
If those options are not already selected, click on the check boxes to select them.
Click on the "OK" button at the bottom of the "Word Options" dialogue box.

Your spell check should now be turned on in Microsoft Word.

The spell check feature in most word processors can be enabled in the program's settings. For Microsoft Word, this can be found under the 'Proofing' tab in the 'File' menu. In the 'Proofing' options, make sure the 'Check spelling as you type' and 'Mark grammar errors as you type' boxes are both checked. For Google Docs, spell check can be enabled by going to the 'Tools' menu and selecting 'Spelling.'
