I have inadvertently turned off the feature that recognizes archaic or misspellings, etc. in my documents. So now, no errors are highlighted, etc.
I have no idea how I could have *possibly* done this.
????????

This is strange. It shows up on some documents, and not on others. But I have purposely kept from AutoCorrecting things, so that I could have future benchmarks by which to measure what needs editing or not. GRRRRRRRRR!

Figuring how it happened may be more difficult that getting it back on. I am not sure of the new versions but you should be able to turn it back off under "Tools" then "Options" then "Spelling & Grammar" and then check the hide spelling errors box.

I thought when it was off it was off but maybe each document saves a setting.

I'm using "OpenOffice," which is the open license alternative to Microsoft Word. When I open the same document in Microsoft Works (not Word), the needed highlights show up. I don't want to have to toggle back and forth, and MS Works will not automatically save the doc as *.doc. Instead it always defaults to *.wps.

Ok. I forgot what you were using. Surely there is a similar way to turn it off but it is certainly irritating if you have to do it constantly on opening a file.

???????? | On the toolbar immediately to the left of the scissors "cut" icon should be the "Autospellcheck" icon, which is a little checkmark with an ABC above it, and a wavy red line under it. You probably hit that by mistake, turning it off.

Thanks, Todd, but that wasn't it either. I have now added that to my toolbar, though. For some reason, nothing I type on these particular documents shows up as a misspelling. Really, really, weird. I just typed lksad;kj;salk and the wavy red line didn't occur, even though the wavy line thing is activated. *sigh

You need to reset the spell checker. This has happened to me before.
What version of Word?

It's not Word. It's OpenOffice.org Writer. And the wavy red line works on other documents and any new ones I make.

Can you open it in Microsoft Works and get the spell check formatting? If so can you copy and paste it into OpenOffice that way and maintain the formatting?
Just shooting in the dark, trying to be helpful but not annoying.

My guess is that somewhere, there is a forum that answers the question.

Looks like the "Reinstall" option may be your best bet

See, Joshua, this is what happens when your giving falls off at church. Your pastor pressed a secret button under his desk in his study and your computer went cablooie.
Once your giving is back up to acceptable levels, he'll push a second button, and everything will be hunky-dory again. 
Just trying to be helpful...
