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.

    Yes, shift F1 says language is English.  I did post in UserVoice.  

    What do you get when you type the sentence in?  That would be helpful.

    "This is to tests the grammar mistakes in these sentence to see if their fixes."

    Thanks

    Charles Thanks but all of this has already been tried several times for the past 2 months. 

    When you type in this sentence, does grammar checker work?

    Grammar and to some extent spell checker have not worked since Microsoft updated Editor.   This is not an isolated incident, this is a universal bug.

    The grammar checker is on and the language is correct.  

    This is a major bug that Microsoft needs to address.
