It sounds like you may have your style set up as a No-Proof style.
Word allows you to turn off spell-checking for individual styles and
you may have done this.
To set it so that the spell-check includes it, follow these steps:
1. On the Format menu, choose Style.
2. In the Style dialog box, select the style that Word is not
checking.
3. Click Modify.
4. In the Modify Style dialog box, click Language.
5. In the Language dialog box, select the language you use (for
example, English (US).
6. Click OK.
If it's already checked, then you have some other problem.
Good luck.
