Debug WordPerfect spell-checker

When I go to the top of the document, and start the spell-checker, it returns a message that spell-checking is complete, even though spelling errors are still left in the document. I then select the whole document and run the spell-checker, and then it sometimes corrects the errors.

This is a fundamental fault that needs prompt attention. I am currently using MS Word 2010 to spell-check the documents.

    The same issue with Spell Check has been happening with my WP 2021 program for many months. Even though I have repeatedly checked 'Document' in the drop-down menu, the program continues to show the error message 'Spell Check complete", and so then I have to check the entire document manually. Shutting down and re-booting my computer and then re-opening WP has no effect on this error. Wondering if I should re-install the program ??

    Somewhat belatedly, I found that you need to click the "Document" checking option. I still think the user interface for this feature should be re-oragnised so that this is clearly spelt out for the user. In any event, the "Document" option should be made the default option, i.e. when calling up the Spell checker.
