How To Install Microsoft Office Spelling Checker For Mac 2011

I am currently using Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft office but the problem still persist. Chrome vs firefox for mac.

Whenever I try to open a document (other than those that I created), a prompt would appear and it states 'Word cannot start the spelling checker. The spelling checker files may be missing. Make sure the spelling checker files are installed or use the Microsoft office installer to install the spelling checker.' While reinstalling, there isn't any other options to choose from other than to install the entire Microsoft office package. Thus I could not find the spelling checker file and I was not able to solve this problem. I really do appreciate anyone who knows the answer to this problem.
