Word's SpellCheck options divided in 2 menus
Ever had SpellCheck refuse to work? You go to ToolsOptionsSpelling &
Grammar and all the settings there seem fine. It turns out there is a check box in ToolsLanguageSet Language that says "Do Not check spelling and grammar". If this is accidentally uncehcked (maybe you picked up the setting from another document), then SpellCheck will not work. Solution: move the checkbox to the obvious location - the Spelling & Grammar tab - so users don't go crazy trying to figure out how to fix SpellCheck. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word's SpellCheck options divided in 2 menus
The thing is, the spelling and grammar tab is used for setting system-wide
or document-wide options. The "do not check spelling or grammar" is a text-specific setting, like bold or underline. You may be right, it doesn't belong with choice of language either, but that choice is also a text-specific setting. My thought is that this setting, regardless of where it is shown, will continue to drive users crazy until they learn that it is specific to selected text. The only way I know of to really learn that is to bump your head into it a couple of times. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
