On Windows you can select all in the Word Web App by holding the ctrl key and hitting the A button. So ctrl+A.
Hi nyhooligan49,
I'm sorry, but I do not understand your comment above. Spellcheck is only available in some languages. I just tried English, and it works fine for me. Was it a specific language that was failing for you?
To change the spellcheck language of a document, hit ctrl+a to select all of the contents of that document and then click the bottom half of the "Spelling" button. This should open a pop-out dialog and choose "Select Proofing Language". This will open the Languages dialog, in the list select the language you'd like to be proofing in.
works is not working on spell check
