"Do not check spelling or grammer"
Hi,
I have a TOC I set up long ago. The Description of the formatting says "Do not check spelling or grammar." I do not know how to change this so that it is checked when doing a spell and grammar check. Can you help. Thanks Patti |

"Do not check spelling or grammer"
You will need to modify each of the TOC styles (TOC 1, TOC 2, etc.). Use
Format | Language to remove the check in "Do not check spelling or grammar." Shauna Kelly's article at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html explains how to modify most styles in Word 2002 and 2003, but this will not work for TOC styles, which are not displayed in the Styles and Formatting task pane even when you select "All styles." There are two ways to access these styles: 1. Choose Custom for "Show," which will open the Format Settings dialog, in which you can click the Styles... button to get to the Style dialog. 2. Right-click in the TOC field and choose Edit Field, then click Table of Contents..., which will take you to the TOC dialog, where you can click Modify... to get to those styles. -- Suzanne S.

"Do not check spelling or grammer"
Hi Patti,
I have a TOC I set up long ago. The Description of the formatting says "Do not check spelling or grammar." I do not know how to change this so that it is checked when doing a spell and grammar check. Can you help. I'm curious as to why you'd spell check a TOC, as these are usually generated via a field code from text in the document. Presumably, if the spelling in the document is correct, the TOC would be, as well. But in any case, in order to change this for a STYLE, go into the dialog box where you modify the style. From the "Format" button, select "Language". Make sure the checkbox referring to this is NOT activated.

Depending on which version of Word you have: - In earlier versions (up to Word 97, I think), one of the language choices in the list is "(no proofing)". Click a real language such as "English (US)" and click OK. - In more recent versions, there's a check box below the list, labeled "Do not check spelling or grammar". Uncheck that box and click OK. You probably need to go into Tools Options Spelling & Grammar and click the Check Document button to reset the spell checker. Then press F7 to rerun the checker. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
