"...too many spelling errors to continue displaying them...."
I have a large document (219 pages) with numerous embedded cross-references.
Now, whenever I open the document, I receive this message: "There are too many spelling or grammatical errors in document name to continue displaying them. To check the spelling and grammar of this document, choose Spelling and Grammar from the Tools menu." This is a pain since I would rather correct them as I encounter them - any ideas on how to get rid of this message? Or, is there an actual limit tied to the size of the document?? Thanks. |

What you need to do is eliminate the bits you don't want Word to spell
check. You can start by telling it to "Ignore Internet and file addresses" (Tools | Options | Spelling and Grammar). If that doesn't help, create a character style defined as Default Paragraph Font + Do not check spelling or grammar and apply it to "words" tht don't need to be spell checked. -- Suzanne S.

I already have eliminated many of the words, and have turned "grammar"
checking off. I have repeatedly done spell-check and told it to ignore words. It simply is overwhelmed by something and I need to know what that something is - is it the cross-references within the document? Is it too many styles? Even when I add additional cross-references, it will often tell me that Word is out of memory....I am trying to avoid having to create a master document with sub-documents but I need to know if that is what it will take.

It's overwhelmed by too many "errors". E.g., I run into this with 500 pages
full of eighteenth century spellings. Try Suzanne's suggested style to apply to the words that you want ignored. It's possible that there's a limited amount of power available for "showing stuff on screen", and that the cross-references are taking priority. However, this comment Even when I add additional cross-references, it will often tell me that Word is out of memory.... Suggests that something else may be going on. How much memory does your computer have? What versions are you using? Have you done basic maintenance on the computer recently? DO NOT use a master document with subdocuments.
