undo "skip text during a spelling and grammar check"?
I mistakenly blocked some text and set the "skip text during a spelling and
grammar check". How do I undo this? I am unaware of which text I blocked. If I go to Tools, Language, Set Language and take the check out of the "do not check.." box and then save, it still will not correct the spelling areas that were in the "blocked area". There are misspelled words, but it skips them and say spellcheck is complete. |

If you didn't add the items to a custom dictionary you might just need to
use ToolsOptionsSpelling & Grammar, click Recheck Document, then click 'Yes'. If I've misunderstood please post back. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "ncstockmeyer" wrote in message ...

undo "skip text during a spelling and grammar check"?
I had a similar problem today. I developed a form in Word and after
unlocking the form, the spellchecker will not check any of the text form field boxes. I get the following message "Text marked with "Do not check spelling or grammar" was skipped." I have no idea how to bypass this. I tried the recheck document and that did not work either. This has been frustrating me for 6 years now; I sure hope there is an answer to the problem.

I just found the answer to my question under a search. You highlight your
entire document by using CTRL + A, the go to tools | Language | set language | uncheck the box "do not check spelling or grammar and click on default button and OK. It now works and hopefully will work for every new document I create. What a great forum for finding answers! I'm impressed!

Thank you so much. I thought I tried this, but must not have used the
correct sequence of tasks. Anyhow, I just followed your instructions and IT WORKED! This discussion group is so helpful. Thanks again!

undo "skip text during a spelling and grammar check"?
Just so you know - you saved my life today - 3 years after your posting and
across the world in England. I have been struggling with this problem on a job application form - it was driving me mad. Even if I cut & pasted the text into another document it still wouldn't check it. Now I know how! Thanks v much. "Murphy" wrote: I just found the answer to my question under a search.
