thanks Suzanne. This helps. (I am used to W97 where you define no proofing
as a language to Find and then choose the language you want in its place
for the Replace.)

I noticed that the default language that comes up in the Find What is "no
language." In my case, US English is above it is also checked. Does it make a
difference if I leave the "no language" setting as is -or- should I always
change that to US English, even when it is shown above no language default
already and is checked? In other words, what does the active checkmark of US
English signify and how/what triggers it.

In the Find dialog, leave the "Find what" box blank, click on More to expand
the dialog, then click Format | Language and check the box for "Do not check
spelling or grammar." Then Find All.

In W2003 how can I find text that is set to not be checked by
spell/grammar
checker? I have Selected all the text in my document and set the
Tools--Language--Set language to US English. I also made sure that do
not
check spelling or grammar are NOT checked. I also have check spelling and
grammar as you type checked in Tools OptionSpelling and Grammar.

thanks in advance for ideas.
