I work in a field with lots of words not recognized by Word's spellchecker
and I need to submit a proposal electronically as a Word file. I don't want
there to be a bunch of wavy lines underlining correctly-spelled words that
their copy of Word doesn't recognize....same goes for correct grammar that
Word doesn't like (such as supposed fragments in my perfectly-correct
bibliography!). Is there any way for me to make the spelling and grammar
options stick with the document? I've already tried the "Hide spelling
errors in this document" and "Hide grammar errors in this document" options
but the wavy lines came back after I closed and re-opened the file.
Normally, I would solve this problem by making my file into a pdf, but the
proposal guidelines specify that they prefer the proposal to be submitted as
a Word file.

FE,

I think (not positive because I can't test it right now) that you can select
your text then ToolsLaguageSet Language and check "Do not check spelling
or grammar."

I tried it, and I think it worked. At least it stayed that way when I closed
and re-opened it on my machine. Thank you! Someone should add this to the
Word help menu so that this information comes up when someone looks up how to
get rid of the wavy lines/automatic spellchecking.

FWIW, "Hide spelling errors" and "Hide grammatical errors" are
document-specific settings and should be saved with your document. In my
experience, they are.
