Spell check in the headers

Hello,
I have a document with multiple header styles used and the spell checked does not seem to be checking the text into those headers. It just says "You are good to go" when clearly multiple misspelled words were detected in the header styles.

Please advise.

Thanks.

During a manual spellcheck, Word deals with the headers (and footers) after the main body of the document. If this isn't working, see if that text in the headers has been formatted as "Do not check spelling or grammar" (Review tab | Language | Set Proofing Language).

You're awesome, TP. Exactly my issue, because my heading happens to be uppercase!
