After spell check says its complete i still have misspelled words.

I have office for mac and in a particular word doc it won't spell check the
whole document . the part it won't check was composed some time ago. did I
secure it from spell check some how ? if so how do a get to it now.

Most likely that text is formatted as "(no proofing)." Select all the text
in the document (Ctrl+A) and go to Tools | Language | Set Language. Make
sure that the appropriate language is selected and that the box for "Do not
check spelling or grammar" is clear.

Suzanne's answer should fix it, (cntl-A is cmd-A on the Mac), but for
Mac-specific problems (and this wasn't one, really), be aware that there are
Mac-dedicated newsgroups for the office programs:

See here for gateway to Mac-specific ngs:

I overlooked the fact that you are using a Mac. For Mac-specific newsgroups,
