Stop autocorrect for specific style only
Modify the style to include the "Do not check spelling or grammar" property
(in earlier versions, you'd do this through Format | Language in the Modify Style dialog). If you also set the style to some language other than the one assigned to your .acl (AutoCorrect) file, presumably AutoCorrect won't work, either. -- Suzanne S.

Stop autocorrect for specific style only
Thanks Suzanne.
In one of my custom styles (based on a paragraph style) I did this and it worked. However, in another custom style (based on a character style) it doesn't seem to work. In the latter style, the "Do not check spelling or grammar" box is indeterminate. If I check it, close the Language dialog box with OK, and then open it right back up the box is unchecked and indeterminate again. Any suggestions? Thanks. Greg Reese "Suzanne S.

You can absolutely include this property in a character style (because
language is a character property); is your character style based on Default Paragraph Font? -- Suzanne S.

Stop autocorrect for specific style only
Generally, gray means that the setting applies to part, but not all, of a
selection. When modifying a style, that doesn't apply. What's the name of the style for which the "Do not check..." language setting won't "stick"? If you create a new document, does the setting "stick" there? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Greg Reese" wrote in message ...

Stop autocorrect for specific style only
Herb,
What's the name of the style for which the "Do not check..." language setting won't "stick"? Computer word If you create a new document, does the setting "stick" there? No, it doesn't. The other style is called "Computer code". I renamed them to Computer_code and Computer_word, in case Word was only looking at the first word of the style name, but that didn't help either.

Stop autocorrect for specific style only
Is Computer word a character style or a paragraph style? I'm assuming that
it's a character style, and that Computer code is a paragraph style. Is that correct? I'm able to create styles by those names, and the Do not check setting "sticks". I'm wondering if it might be a normal.dotm corruption problem. Try starting Word using the /a switch (don't know if you're running XP or Vista; in XP, Start - Run - type winword.exe /a and press Enter; in Vista, Start - type winword.exe /a into the Start Search box and press Enter. When starting Word using the /a switch, do styles now work as you expect them to? If they do, then the problem might be your normal.dotm file. Try renaming it as oldnormal.dotm, then start Word (without the /a switch) and see if the problem remains fixed. Incidentally... Suzanne's trick of also setting a different language to prevent unintended AutoCorrect expansion works here, but only if I use a language I actually have. If I set it to Russian, for example, each character I type (even with Detect language automatically turned off) registers as English. If I set the language to Spanish and enable "Do not check," then spelling is ignored and AutoCorrect terms are not expanded (unless they actually correspond to Spanish .acl items) . -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Greg Reese" wrote in message ...

Is Computer word a character style or a paragraph style?
Computer word is a character style based on "default Paragraph font". I'm assuming that it's a character style, and that Computer code is a paragraph style. Is that correct? Correct on both. I'm able to create styles by those names, and the Do not check setting "sticks". I'm wondering if it might be a normal.dotm corruption problem. Try starting Word using the /a switch (don't know if you're running XP or Vista; in XP, Start - Run - type winword.exe /a and press Enter; in Vista, Start - type winword.exe /a into the Start Search box and press Enter.

For lurkers...
Greg sent me the document. Somehow, the "Computer word" style has gotten corrupted. I was able to fix the problem by deleting that style, recreating it, and applying it to the same bits of text.
