There are two potential solutions that come to mind. The first is the check the spell check options to ensure they are enabled.
1. Open Word
2. Click file
3. Click Options
4. Select 'Proofing' on the right side
5. Look for a check box that says something like 'check spelling while typing' and make sure it is checked. If it isn't then check the box and click 'OK' at the lower left. You may also want to check through the other settings to see if it provides you with additional functionality. (here is a link to a picture of what the 'Proofing' options look like http://blogmines.com/blog/images/upload/2010/03/image9.png)
When you say you have deleted office XP, I am not sure if you have actually uninstalled the application. I would uninstall any and all version of office and then do a reinstall of the Office 2010 software.
To uninstall and reinstall office:
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Add or Remove Programs
4. A list of programs will populate (may take a few moments)
5. Select Any applications that say microsoft office and click uninstall at the lower left side.
6. Once everything is uninstalled, restart the computer
7. When the restart is complete, attempt to install Office 2010 again
Hope this works.
Try a complete uninstall of all of Microsoft Office and then do a full Installation.
Spell check is under the Review tab in all Office 2010 products.
