Spellcheck vs. Tracking/Markup WORD2003
I have just completed writing a lengthy novel, but would like to run the
spelling and grammar check in WORD 2003. Apparently it has saved every change for the past six months. I have NO interest in viewing or using all of the many changes made over the past six months. BUT do not want to dare to lose the final version. I believe that the thousands of tracked changes have something to do with Markup or Tracking. When running the spellcheck it seems to be showing every one of those changes, NOT just working from just the final version. This is making my efforts to check Spelling and grammar impossible. I ONLY want to use my FINAL version. Is there a simple way to simply delete the records or countless changes without in any way impacting my final version that has taken the better part of a year to write? For that matter, I would prefer to never again see Marked-Up or Tracked changes . I ONLY work with my final copy. With the many changes being shown in Spelling and grammar checking it is useless. -- mensplace |

Spellcheck vs. Tracking/Markup WORD2003
How did you manage to have Track Changes on for six months and never
notice that the Reviewing toolbar was up there with the others? (With the dropdown window somehow set to showing Final instead of the default, Final with Markup.) Turn Track Changes off by clicking the bright icon at the Reviewing toolbar's right end, or by doubleclicking the bold TRK at the bottom of the document, or by pressing Ctrl-Shift-E. On the Reviewing toolbar, click the tiny triangle next to the checkmark button and select "Accept All Changes." Save the document. (Its file size will become half or less what it was before.) Check your spelling. On Jul 26, 10:38 am, mensplace (donotspam) wrote: I have just completed writing a lengthy novel, but would like to run the spelling and grammar check in WORD 2003.

If you mean that you see red or green squiggly lines under words in your
document, those are not revisions marks. They are spelling or grammar alerts. PamC mensplace wrote: DID all that was suggested.

Spellcheck vs. Tracking/Markup WORD2003
In Spelling and grammar check I am getting text displayed for spelling and
grammar that was long ago changed as I read, reread and edited changes as the text in need of changing with suggested corrections that do not match the final version -- mensplace "PamC via OfficeKB.com" wrote: If you mean that you see red or green squiggly lines under words in your document, those are not revisions marks.

Spellcheck vs. Tracking/Markup WORD2003
Were you using File=Versions? If so, that (now gone) Word feature was a bit flaky. It is possible that there is corruption in the document. If there are versions there, then after accepting changes try using File=Save As to a new name to save only the final version. If you're referring to grammar changes that you chose to 'ignore' previously, those can come back in subsequent reviews. If you're seeing spelling issues where you added words to your custom dictionary, it's possible that the language applied to the text in your document from Tools=Language=Set Language may have changed. You may also want to check your custom dictionary through Tools=Options=Spelling & Grammar=[Custom Dictionaries]=[Modify] to be sure they're okay and that they're either 'all language' or correct language specified word lists. =========== "mensplace" (donotspam) wrote in message ...

Spellcheck vs. Tracking/Markup WORD2003
File Versions does not show any other versions. If I look at the marked up
copy all of the changes are still there even after turning off tracking and doing the suggested accept all and save. I would love to simply delete the marked up or tracked information. If I look at the final version it is fine, but I do need to run a final spelling and grammar check. When I run spellcheck the top screen that is supposed to show the existing text includes a fragment of the text with every changed word or bit of puctuation ever used. What is showing in spell check does not reflect the actual content of the final version, so it is incredibly difficult to identify what it is addressing. Often, since it includes every past word or phrase change the fragment posted at the top of spellcheck is far lengthier and wordier. How do I get spellcheck to actually use ONLY that which is in the final document? If it actually used the final documents material and not including every past word, punctuation or grammar change, then it would be very easy to look at the fragment it has selected versus that which I have in the final document to decide upon changes. -- mensplace "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Were you using File=Versions?

Spellcheck vs. Tracking/Markup WORD2003
See what results you get with these steps. 1. With your document open use File=Save As and choose a new file name so you'll have a spare copy to work with. It's possible that the document is corrupted or that the template attached to it is. 2. Use File=Save As and save to a new name using either the .xml file type. 3. Close Word. 4. From Start=Search, locate all files found searching for ~$*.*;*.tmp and send them to the recycle bin. 5. Restart Word while holding the ctrl key (that eliminates any addins from being loaded). 6. Open the new copy of the document and use View=Toolbars=Review and turn on 'the 'Original showing Markup display' and check on that toolbar Show=Options to see if all change types are marked to be displayed. 7. Turn on Show=Options=Reviewing Pane. Do either of the documents saved in step 1 & 2 show any marked changes in that display mode or in Final Showing Markup? 8. Use Tools=Options=Spelling & Grammar. Does the button near the bottom of that document show 'Check Document' or different wording? ================ "mensplace" (donotspam) wrote in message ...
