Spell Check not working in Word 365 after automatic update

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.

    Hello - Could you please tell us when this is getting fixed or if it is ever going to get fixed?  This is a big issue.  Grammar checker does not work at all - that is ridiculous and spell checker only works when you have "check spelling as you type".  The "Check Document" button on the menu doesn't work at all.  It's been months.  I thought you were "customer centric"?   If your "grammar checker" doesn't check "grammar" then what the heck does it do?  You broke it with the update to the new "Editor" can't you fix it?

    Please keep in mind that you are not addressing Microsoft here, just other users (especially when replying to a post from another user).

    Understood.  But how do we relay this very serious bug due to an obviously unbeta tested update of the Editor to Microsoft and get information on what the ETA is on fixing it?  How doe we find out that Microsoft is even acknowledging the problem?  Is there a mechanism to submit bug information and receive a response?  Is there another forum we should use?  Thanks!
