That's it! This manuscript has dozens of Arabic names,
and there's no consistency to the author's spellingof
those names, I feared adding them to the Dictionary, so I
just clicked "Ignore this Once" each time. OK, how do I
tell it not to proof those words? Thanks.

I guess my question is why, if the language applied to
the text matches the
proofing tools, you have so many words marked as
misspelled. The idea of
"Check spelling as you type" is to allow you to correct
the words as you go.
If you do this, you should not be getting the "Too many
spelling errors to
display" message unless you have a lot of proper names
or the like. If you
don't want to add them to the dictionary, you can select
those specific
words and format them not to be proofed.

I am confused. If I do this, then I have no spell
check
at all. I do have the proper proofing tools and they
work on all other documents and worked on this one,
too,
until the third run-through. So the question is, how
can I restore the spell check that I had?

If you do not have the appropriate proofing tools for
the language you're
using, then you can set the spelling checker to "Do
not
check spelling or
grammar."

I am editing a 275 document and the Spell Check (the
version that shows errors with red underlines as you
type)
worked fine the first two times. The third time, a
screen popped up and said the document "was too long
for
spell check to continue", so I must use the Spell
Check
on the tool bar.
The tool bar option is a problem since it allows
only a
small screen and a word-by-word view. I used it and
later found many errors in spacing, etc.
"Help" said to turn red wavy lines back on, but
how? I
checked Options, Tools, & the Spelling & Grammar
Tab,
Set
Language, and so on. Help told me to check if I had
this
format, but Reveal Format shows nothing.
How can I get the "as you go" spell check with the
red
underlines to work again? (Sorry I don't have the
correct names for the two different spell check
versions.) Many Thanks.
