Ok, so I have a Word document with a whole bunch of mail merge fields. I
figured out how to spell check the merge fields like Cindy says to set the
language. The problem is that it spell checks last names of people I'm
sending letters to. Is there a way to just set a specific field or two to be
spell checked without having it check every single field???

Hi ?B?Vml2aWFuIFA=?=,

I have a Word document with several mail merge fields. When the document is
gnerated, the mail merge fields default to 'do not check spelling'. How do I
get the document to generate to permit spell checking for the entire
document. I am aware that I can uncheck the option on a field by field basis
but this is not practical in the environment. I need to set the spell check
for the entire document.

There's no way to force field code results to automatically support spelling.
But you can use Ctrl+A to select the entire document and apply the language in
one step.
