If all your other styles are based (directly or indirectly) off Normal then
if you set the Normal style to "Not Check Spelling or Grammar" (under Modify
Style Format Language), it should propagate through all other styles in
the document.

Depending on how you are using styles you may have to change one or more
other styles as well (or instead).

Alternatively, as a one-off you can Select All and go to Tools Language
Set Language and check the same box. The limitation with that is that won't
carry forward into new text added to the document.

Enjoy,
Tony

Hi all,

Is-it possible, in word XP, to de-activate the automatic spelling
mistakes detection for only one named document.

Thank-you by advance.

Karim.
