How to solve spell checker in MS Office 2010. This issue has been reported when using MS Office 2010 with Windows 7. The error reports that spell checker is working fine when it fact it was not.
Microsoft offered the following help online. Just my luck that method 1-4 did NOT work! Luckily Method 5 worked for me.
And here are the steps in case anyone else runs into this problem. As instructed from MS Support:

Method 2: Enable the speller EN-US add-in
Method 3: Enable Check Spelling as you type
Method 4: Select language and clear “Do not check spelling or grammar”
Method 5: Use Fix it to modify the registry
To fix this problem yourself, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Run box, type regedit, and then press Enter.
Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey:

Click Delete.
Exit Registry Editor.
Exit and then restart Word.
Office 2010 looks interesting, I am hoping to make more use of Publisher, OneNote, and Access.
