Why does my text turn red and underlined?
In the middle of many Word documents, suddenly my text is red and underlined
and there are formatting messages to the right. These messages are not invisible but print out with the document, which is not what I want. I am unable to make this start once it begins happening. If you can, please tell me how to disable this feature. Thanks! -- SB |

Answer: Why does my text turn red and underlined?
Hi SB,
It sounds like you have accidentally turned on the spelling and grammar check feature in Word. This feature highlights potential spelling and grammar errors in your text by underlining them in red and blue respectively. To turn off this feature, you can follow these steps:
This should turn off the spelling and grammar check feature and stop the red underlining in your text. If you still see red underlining after following these steps, it's possible that you have a different formatting issue in your document. Let me know if you need further assistance with this.

It seems as if you have inadvertently enabled the Track Changes feature.
Turn it off and accept all changes made. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html. If you are using Word 2007, the corresponding commands are on the Review tab of the ribbon. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "GAPROF55" wrote in message ...

You're turning on Track Changes, probably by pressing the shortcut
Ctrl+Shift+E unintentionally. Read http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html. If the shortcut is too easy for you to press by accident, you can disable it. Go to Tools Customize Keyboard (or in Word 2007, Office button Word Options Customize Keyboard). In the left-hand list, click on All Commands. Then in the right-hand list click on ToolsRevisionMarksToggle. When the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E appears in the Current Keys box, click on it and click the Remove button. The Track Changes function will still be available from the Tools menu (or the Review ribbon in Word 2007) if you need to use it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
