I don't understand it.. the last time I used it, it was fine. Now my misspelled words aren't being underlined, nor my grammar errors. And if I have a word that has to continue over to the next line, the whole word doesn't move, just the last part that needs to move. It's never done that before. It's not the same. :/ What could be the problem? I'm really confused.

Automatically check spelling and grammar as you type
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab.
2. Select the Check spelling as you type and Check grammar as you type check boxes.
If the option you want appears dimmed, it is unavailable, and you need to install the appropriate spelling or grammar checker.
3. Clear the Hide spelling errors in this document and Hide grammatical errors in this document check boxes.
4. Click OK.
As you type the document, Word uses wavy red underlines to indicate possible spelling errors and wavy green underlines to indicate possible grammatical errors.
5. To correct an error, right-click a word with a wavy underline, and then click the correction you want on the shortcut menu.
To use additional spelling and grammar options, click Spelling or Grammar on the shortcut menu. You can also edit the error directly in the document.
Tips
To quickly move to the next spelling or grammatical error, double-click the Spelling and Grammar Status icon on the status bar.
If the wavy underlines clutter your document, you can temporarily hide them until you're ready to correct the errors. On the Spelling & Grammar tab, select the Hide spelling errors in this document and Hide grammatical errors in this document check boxes.
I hope this helps!

yeah, I tried that but it still didn't work. Plus, my words don't move down to the next line if they don't fit on the previous one.. the first letter of each new sentence isn't capitalized automatically as it once was either. And I'm sure there's more wrong too. I played around with it, looking at all the options, and all the things are checked that i want, but they aren't working.

Or maybe instead of reinstalling MS Office, you can try out 602Office, it is a freeware (registration required) MS Office Clone. So if you are using a version of Office that is earlier than 2000, this would be considered an "upgrade" for you.
