What is the style? It is possible to create a style which does not get spell
checked. (Sometimes with code examples, etc you might want to do this.) I
ran into this myself with FM7.2.
Since I've joined the unemployed and don't own a personal copy of FM I can't
walk you down the menus or the details to debug.
