Half my text is marked to not be spell checked, how do I fix it
Some of my text, particularly after graphics is marked as "do not check
spelling or grammar" or so the abc spell checker tells me so. How in the world do I turn this off, or "unmark" that text???? Help please, I have a report due very soon! |

Press Ctrl+A to select everything, then press Alt+T, L L. Make sure that
your language is selected and clear the Do not check... box. If it is gray, then that means that part of the selected text has that setting, and part doesn't. You want that box to be white, not gray or checked. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Megs" wrote in message ...

Checking one by one won't work if the text is marked as "Do not check."
That's the whole point of marking it so, to make the spell checker skip it. The only way to ensure that all text is checked is to Ctrl+A (Select All) and use Tools | Language | Set Language to completely clear the "Do not check spelling or grammar" check box. F12 runs the Save As command; I don't know what good that would do. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "spatzky" wrote in message ...

I have done this and I still get the message that "Spelling and Grammar Check
complete. Text marked "do not check spelling or grammar" were skipped. Any other suggestions? I am using Word 2000. Thank you!

Hi, Colleen,
I might be remembering incorrectly, but it could be that text in Word 2000's headers, footers, footnotes, and/or endnotes are not being "fixed" when you press Ctrl+A. You might need to fix those separately. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Colleen" wrote in message ...
