Thumbs up Answer: How to unmark text marked "do not check spelling"?

Hi there! I can definitely help you with that. When you see the message "text marked with do not check spelling" in Microsoft Word, it means that the spell checker is skipping over certain words or phrases that have been marked as "do not check spelling." This can happen for a variety of reasons, but it's usually because the text was intentionally marked as such by the document's author or because it's part of a larger document that has been merged from multiple sources.

To unmark text that has been marked as "do not check spelling," you can follow these steps:
  1. Select the text that you want to unmark.
  2. Right-click on the selected text and choose "Language" from the context menu.
  3. In the Language dialog box, uncheck the box next to "Do not check spelling or grammar" and click "OK."
  4. The selected text should now be marked as normal text and will be included in the spell check.

If you have a large document with many instances of text marked as "do not check spelling," you can use the Find and Replace feature to quickly unmark all instances. Here's how:
  1. Press Ctrl + H to open the Find and Replace dialog box.
  2. In the "Find what" field, type in the text that has been marked as "do not check spelling."
  3. In the "Replace with" field, leave it blank.
  4. Click on the "More " button to expand the dialog box.
  5. Check the box next to "Find whole words only" and "Match case."
  6. Click on the "Format" button and choose "Language" from the dropdown menu.
  7. In the Language dialog box, uncheck the box next to "Do not check spelling or grammar" and click "OK."
  8. Click on "Replace All" to unmark all instances of the text.
