Help with Microsoft Word for Mac

Hello! I am looking for help with my newly purchased Microsoft Word application 16.107.4 (26040410) on my newly purchased MacBook Air with Tahoe 26.3.1 (a). Even though I instructed my Apple advisor at the Apple Store to remove all of Microsoft from my new MacBook Air which was transferred with all my other apps and docs before helping me install the new Microsoft for Mac License: Microsoft 365 Subscription, the problems with my former MS Word App carried over... for example, the Tool: Spelling and Grammar, does not give the option to do a spell check, I really need this repaired.

In contacting Microsoft by phone, I was very disappointed to find out they do not offer any support whatsoever for Mac products... that's why I'm reaching out here for some Mac user who can give me support to fix my MS Word app.

Thank you in advance!

I taped on the link you've provided: "Fix: Word Spell Check Not Working" and it sent me to a page with nothing but Chinese typing 😩

Try it yourself and see if there's another link.

Go to the third button from the right at the top of the page that link takes you to. There's a globe on it. Tap on it and choose your preferred language.


Note that my instructions do not constitute an endorsement for using that page. I think it's possible it's all AI slop.
