Check the style for the words - is it set to ignore misspelled words? This
setting is under Languages.
In 2007, Format Text tab, Change Styles button. Click the little arrow in
the lower right corner to expand the Styles pane. Select the text and the
style it uses will highlight - click it to show the dropdown arrow and
select Modify from the menu. Then choose Format from the lower left of the
Modify Style dialog - look in Languages for the spelling setting.
