Spell checking within cells in table
I'm working with Word 2003 standard edition; XP Pro operating system.
I'm creating a Directory mail merge based a table that gets repeated, with sets of merge data inserted in each table. One of the cells in each table if for a description that gets typed by hand. When I press "F7" to check spelling, it says the spelling check is complete -- but I can see that words which were (deliberately) misspelled are being overlooked. I also get a message that says **Text marked with "Do not check spelling or grammar" was skipped**. What does this mean? QUESTION: How can I get the spell checker to look at ALL words in ALL table cells? Thanks, John |

Spell checking within cells in table
It is a component found in STYLES. You need to make sure your document
templates (base documents) all have Normal style and any other styles "Do not Check ..." UNCHECKED. And make sure Normal.dot has all its styles unchecked as this is the template New Blank Document is based on: On Menu go to: Format Styles and Formatting Click on style (each one separately) Modify Format Language UNCHECK do not check spelling or grammar. Hope this helps. www.docsliveonline.com "John Cutler" wrote in message ... I'm working with Word 2003 standard edition; XP Pro operating system.

Possibly the cell is formatted as "Do not check spelling or grammar." See
