Language tools on Word 2011 do not work anymore (spell check, grammar check, thesaurus). They did not work under Mavericks and are still not working under Yosemite. I tried every step suggested by Microsoft, but it is still not working. Does anybody have the same issue? How to solve this?
Got a tip for us?

Thanks. I tried every single step of this article and it still does not work. Any ideas?
If I recall correctly, I had redownload a language dictionary from Microsoft Support and somehow reimport it. It may require a reinstallation. Have you gone to Preferences -> Spelling and Grammar and checked your dictionary? Mine says "Custom." I really apologize for not being help more, but even now my dictionary can be flakey.

This may have been what I did. I think I remember manipulating the normal.dotm
I will try this one. Thanks.
Word 2011 behaves as if there is no dictionary installed. I may have to re-install it.
Yeah, that's how mine did. It never had a reason to, it just stopped working. Reinstall should fix it if all else fails.
