Default Wavy Blue Line

I corrected and stopped the blue wavy/squiggly lines that refer to contextual
spelling. Problem is they still show up when there is a formatting or style
difference. How do I get rid of that? It is extremely annoying.

One line in my resume has the blue wavy/squiggly lines under the entire
line. When I right click, I get the following options:

1. Replace direct formatting with with style List Paragraph
2. Ignore Once
3. Ignore Rule

I want to ignore not replace my formatting (which is consistent throughout
my doc). How do I turn this feature off permanently?

I've found that they indicate incorrect contextual spelling in Office 2007.
For instance, if you use "can not" in a sentence, you should see it with a
wavy blue line with a right click correction of "cannot".

You can turn it off, by clicking the Office button, selecting Word Options.
Select Proofing and clear the check mark from "Use contextual spelling".

I know what wavy read and green lines mean, but what does a wavy blue line
mean? I tried searching the Word help and none of the hits explained it.
