Have current version of Open Office with working dictionaries and MS Office 2010 (newer versions are slow-loading resource hogs) with additional dictionaries installed. Spell checkers work in both.

Memoq should work with those...Nope

Tried installing and importing new dictionaries... hunspell or something iirc...

Still nope.

What gives? Any tips or suggestions? Getting real tired of select all ctrl-c ctrl-v into Office 2010, yeah it works, but

Especially since it is usually just UK vs. US stuff from shared TMs.

The problem is in MS Office Apr 1, 2021

I had the same problem and I got into contact with memoQ support. They said that most likely the problem was with my MS Office. This is what they wrote to me:
It might have to do with a discrepancy between Word being 32 bit version whereas memoQ being a 64 bit version.
You could try to install the 64 bit version of Word instead of the 32 bit (if you have a 32 bit version).
Another advice was:
- Close memoQ.
- Open the "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\MemoQ" fold

- Delete the DockLayoutConfigs.bin; Preferences-editor.xml; Preferences-layout.xml; Preferences-lookup.xml files.
Hope it will help you

BUT! Never ever delete-delete files from something you use to make money.

Create a subfolder and move them there instead.

Voila, reversibility!

Not quite Apr 1, 2021

I work in memoQ for one client only once in a while. After I deliver the file(s) my license expires and I happily uninstall memoQ from my computer. So I really do not care much about that folder...

Deleting those files made no difference for me.

Unfortunately, MemoQ is always going to say by default that "it's most likely a problem with MS Office."

Try this Oct 7, 2022

I ran across this issue when using memoQ 8.3. The solution offered by Daniel Elrich on another forum topic (https://www.proz.com/forum/memoq_support/350488-no_hunspell_no_word_what_am_i_doing_wrong.html) did the trick for me. Scroll down to the end of the first page and follow his instructions.

Presumably... Oct 11, 2022

...you've tried the available memoQ 'Options'?

BTW the spellchecker often cuts out on me while I'm working, but I can normally get it back by toggling the relevant button in the View pane.
