J Jay Freedman Dec 5, 2009 #2 How do you set spell check up so that it functions automatically Click to expand... That should be how it works by default. However, if it somehow go turned off... In Word 2003 or earlier, go to Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar and check the first box, "Check spelling as you type". In Word 2007, go to Office button > Word Options > Proofing and check the same box, which is in the middle of the dialog. If that isn't the problem, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MasterSpellCheck.htm for more suggestions.
