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 ]

If you're determined to throw away whatever help Word can give you to
prevent sending out misspelled documents, you can select everything,
go to Tools Language Set Language, and check the box for "Do not
check spelling or grammar". I'd suggest you don't do this until you've
run the spelling checker on the whole document at least once.

The grammar checker, I'll agree, is pretty pathetic. You can kill that
off by going to Tools Options Spelling & Grammar and unchecking
the box for "Check grammar with spelling".
