Hmmm, I'm not sure what the problem might be, here. The automatic
spell-check will turn off if there are too many errors in a document,
but that shouldn't be the case here. You don't mention what happens if
you run a full spell check?

One thing to check is if this text is formatted as "no proofing".
Select some of it, then go to Tools/Language and try applying the
language you're using. See if any kind of spell check runs, then.

It's also possible that your document, or the template you're using to
create it, has a touch of corruption. Does the same thing happen if
you start a new document?

What about if you rename the default template (Normal.dot to
Normal.old), then restart Word. Does a new document still exhibit the
problem?
