Answer: How to unmark text marked "do not check spelling"?
Hi there! I can definitely help you with that. When you see the message "text marked with do not check spelling" in Microsoft Word, it means that the spell checker is skipping over certain words or phrases that have been marked as "do not check spelling." This can happen for a variety of reasons, but it's usually because the text was intentionally marked as such by the document's author or because it's part of a larger document that has been merged from multiple sources.
To unmark text that has been marked as "do not check spelling," you can follow these steps:
If you have a large document with many instances of text marked as "do not check spelling," you can use the Find and Replace feature to quickly unmark all instances. Here's how:

Thanks Herb. I have tried that, but sadly, to no avail.

How to unmark text marked "do not check spelling"?
Wait. You're saying that when you select text (text needs to be selected,
since language is a character formatting attribute, like bold or italic), and explicitly format text for a particular language (e.g.,English US), and at the same time turn "Do not check spelling" off, Word is *still* telling you the text you reformatted is marked "do not check"? This doesn't make sense. Could it be that it it's talking about text in a header, footer, footnote, etc? If not, what happens if you start Word using the /a switch or in safe mode? See the steps he http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm Note that despite the fact that this is named "Problems Opening Word," it's really much broader than that. Some of the same issues that can prevent Word from opening properly can cause other problems as well. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

In case some users of Office 2007 can't find the nonexistent "Tools" menu, click on the REVIEW tab and you will find the "Set Language" icon there. Hope this helps!
