if I leave it unchecked, thereby asking for it to perform the checking, and
then click OK to leave the dialog, when I reenter the dialog, the checkbox
has gone back to being greyed.



Any other thoughts?

FWIW I am using Word 2003 (11.6568.6568) SP2.

thanks,

But note that if the selection includes text with the setting on as
well as text with the setting turned off, the check mark will be grey.
This means that the first click activates the setting, and a second
click is required to turn it off for all text.

This should be working.

Hi,

I need to Spell/Grammar check documents that may have sections in

which:

Tools-Language-Set Language-Do not check spelling or

grammar

had been enabled.

I want to disable it in order to recheck spelling and grammar.

However, I find that I can only disable this feature on pieces of

the
document, not on the entire doc at once. (I am having to select

individual
tables for example.)

Am I doing something wrong by:

a) Edit-Select All
b) Tools-Language-Set Language
c) unchecking 'Do not check spelling or grammar' so that it

WILL check
spelling and grammar

?

thanks,

-john
