HOW do I rid a document of those green or red squiggled underlines that MS
Word puts in as its own "take" on either the spelling of a word or the
usage?
I know the document doesn't PRINT them, but I want the recipient who
opens
it up on their screen when I send it as an attachment to NOT see these!
HELP! It's driving me nutty! [Thank you ]
