I cannot get spell check to check my document. Word no longer highlights potential issues, and when I run the spellcheck, even when I KNOW there are misspelled words, spell check completes without prompting me for any problematic words or phrases. (the update also wiped out all of my macros, for the second time this week!)
I have checked the proofing options, and everything appears to be as I want it.

My office is also experiencing the same problems mentioned above.
Spell Checker is not finding misspelled words in new emails but works when replying to an email. This has happened since the last update.
If anyone has come up with a fix, it will be much appreciated.

2018-06-05T13:11:27+00:00 Any update as to whether or not that will be a fix coming soon. For the most part - except for very few exceptions - grammar checker does not work at all. After the update to the new so-called 'improved' Editor Grammar checker is not working and Spell Check only works if you have "check spelling as you type". If not, that the "Check Document" comes up with zero errors. This is a really big issue that needs to be fixed? ASAP.
