If only it had....

Body pump class this morning - knees aching this afternoon.

Son number one rang as we were having lunch with a computer problem. Word 2007 had stopped picking up his spelling mistakes as he was typing notes for his dissertation. It did not seem to be quite the emergency he was insisting it was, particularly as it is possible (at least for those over 35) to use a dictionary or proofread your work. It was annoying though and not easy to sort out. Lots of googling later and dredging up all my knowledge of the inside workings of Word, I still hadn't manage to restore the spell checking. We even took over control of his computer so we could poke around and check all the settings. We were so delighted to find a solution on the Microsoft help site. All you had to do was click on the little man and he would put everything right.

Shame it didn't work.

Our eventual solution was to buy a new copy of Word 2010 over the internet. That did work but we had wasted about 4 hours of our Sunday trying to sort things out. Next time, I'm posting up a dictionary.......
