Spell check
In Word 2003, after spell checking a document, you would get a message
telling you if your document had text tagged with "Do not check spelling or grammar" saying that "text marked do not check spelling or grammar" was ignored. Word 2007 doesn't always let you know that text tagged with "Do not check spelling or grammar" was ignored. The only way I know to avoid this is to select the entire document, then go to Review/Language/then unselect "Do not check spelling or grammar", then spell check. Is there a setting I'm missing in my options for Word to always let me know if any text is marked with "do not check spelling or grammar"? |

Spell check
Can you give us an example of circumstances when Word fails to display the
warning message? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "chulling" wrote in message ...

Spell check
I was trying to force the message box in order to take a screen shot for my
article at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/SpecialFind.htm. When I ran spell check on a text selection that was *all* formatted as "Do not check" (my lorem ipsum text), I found that I didn't get the message unless I had "Check grammar with spelling" enabled. -- Suzanne S.

Spell check
OK, that is annoying. :-(
Personally, I turn off the automatic spellcheck but I do leave "Check grammar with spelling" on, which explains why I haven't seen the issue. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

Spell check
What confused me was that I'd had no trouble bringing up the box before, and
I hadn't intentionally changed any settings. I don't ever use explicit spell check (just "Check spelling as you type," without "Check grammar as you type"), so I hadn't really paid attention to whether that box was checked. -- Suzanne S.

Spell check
Interesting! I prefer to run spellcheck manually, because I find "Check
spelling as you type" to be very annoying. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Spell check
I prefer "Check spelling as you type" because I can easily ignore the
markings I know are irrelevant, whereas if I run spell check manually then I have to keep clicking Ignore or Ignore All past all the "words not in the dictionary" to get to the few actual typos (most of which would already have been caught by "Check spelling as you type"). -- Suzanne S.
