Wavy Underlines
I am looking for a way to change the color of the wavy underlines that Word
uses with grammer check. I'm using Word 2000. |

The nearest you can do is to run a macro that sets another colored underline on the sentence containing the grammar error. This will usually be more text than the standard grammar check underlines. This is the macro (change the "wdColorViolet" to a color of your choice): Sub ColorGrammarErrors() Dim oGrm As Range For Each oGrm In ActiveDocument.Range.GrammaticalErrors oGrm.Underline = wdUnderlineWavy oGrm.Font.UnderlineColor = wdColorViolet Next oGrm End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if necessary. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

The RegOptions macro in the Support.dot template for Word 2002 does allow
you to change the underline color for both spelling and grammar. Presumably these same Registry keys can be edited manually in Word 2000? -- Suzanne S.
