Spell checker word 2007 - spell check pasted text
Hi,
Whenever I past text into word, it will not check the spelling for it. This is very annoying, does anyone know how to force word to enable spell checking for the entire document? A work around I have found is to copy text from the other application/document into notepad, and recopy and paste it into a new document, but this is a tedious process, and causes all the formatting to be lost. (Language is set to english, I have tried going to word options and pressing the "recheck document" in the proofing section) Thanks. |

From where are you copying the text?
If you use Edit paste special unformatted text (or the following macro) the inserted text will adopt the format of the location into which it is pasted.

Thanks for your reply.
From where are you copying the text? Various applications, one example is Visual Studio 2005 If you use Edit paste special unformatted text (or the following macro) the inserted text will adopt the format of the location into which it is pasted. Yes, thanks, this avoids the notepad workaround, however the text formatting issue remains (ie: the text looses its formatting) I already have a number of documents with incorrect spelling that I did not notice previously, so I am really hoping to find a solution that will allow me to run the spell checker and preserve the formatting. Presumably Word2007 inserts some magic "don't spell check this" tag, which then unfortunately flows on to the rest of the document after the paste-point. I'm hoping to find a way to tell word to spell check everything. |

If you paste the text into a blank document what language is applied to the
pasted text. This should be the language applied to the source text. You could force the required language with a macro whenever you paste by intecepting the paste command eg Sub EditPaste() With Selection .Paste .WholeStory .LanguageID = wdEnglishUS .NoProofing = False Application.CheckLanguage = False End With End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org aboeing wrote: Thanks for your reply.

Thank you, Graham.
I was getting the same thing when I copied/pasted things from a Notepad txt file document to MS Word 2007. The Paste Special worked. The Spell/Grammar Check works immediately after pasting when I use this menu option. Marz "Graham Mayor" wrote: From where are you copying the text?
