Try placing the cursor where you know there's an error, and go to:
- Format > Character > Font
Is a language selected from the "Language" drop-down list? Is there a 
tick next to that language?

If it doesn't have a language set, or if there is no dictionary is 
installed for the selected language (no tick) it won't be checking the 
spelling for at least that section of text.

Try:
- Tools > Language > For all Text > English (or any other language with 
a dictionary installed)
This will mark all text in the document to be checked in that language. 
Does the spell checker work then?

Using those menus, and Tools > Language > For Paragraph you can set 
different languages for different paragraphs or sections of text, which 
is useful if languages are mixed in one document.

Hope that helps.

Mark.
