How can I get rid of red dots that show up under certain words?
Word and Outlook 2003 seem to have a feature that puts red dots under words
that seem randomly chosen. How can I get rid of them? |

There aren't a lot of them, which is why I had already unchecked that box.
And still, they appear. Alas. But thanks. Joan "Opinicus" wrote: "Red dots under certain words" Red dots under certain wrote in message ... Word and Outlook 2003 seem to have a feature that puts red dots under words that seem randomly chosen. How can I get rid of them? The "randomly chosen" words are misspelled (according to Word). Try this: Click on: Tools Options Spelling & Grammar Uncheck the box before [] Check spelling as you type. Click on: OK. If you have a *lot* of words with red dots under them, you might consider leaving this option on however... -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

More likely, the red dots indicate something that was recognized by a Smart
Tag, such as an address. (Word claims they're purple, but that depends on how your monitor is set up.)

"Red dots under certain words"
There aren't a lot of them, which is why I had already unchecked that box. And still, they appear. Alas. But thanks. Hmm. OK. The next suggestion is to uncheck the box before "Hide spelling errors in this document" but if you've unchecked the first box then the second isn't even available. Did you create this document or receive it from someone else? Could the red dots be associated with comments? -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

Thank you so much. At least I know I'm not losing my mind. I still don't
know how to get rid of them, but Il'l keep checking. JE "Jay Freedman" wrote: More likely, the red dots indicate something that was recognized by a Smart Tag, such as an address.

To turn them off, go to Tools Options View and uncheck "Smart tags" (top
item in the center column). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Red dots under certain words wrote: Thank you so much. At least I know I'm not losing my mind.

Hi. It happens in documents that I've written, in documents that are sent to
me, and also in e-mails. "Opinicus" wrote: "Red dots under certain words" There aren't a lot of them, which is why I had already unchecked that box. And still, they appear. Alas. But thanks. Hmm. OK.
