spell checker not picking up mis-spelt words
In 2003 and prior:
1. Select all (Ctrl+A to select whole document) or just select the offending paragraph. 2. Double click on the language button at the bottom of the Word window (or Tools, Language, Set Language). 3. Select Language required in top section of the dialog box. 4. Clear the "Do Not Check Spelling or Grammar" check box. While here also clear the "Detect language automatically" if this is checked. 5. OK. The document/paragraph should now be open to spelling and grammar checking. In Word 2007, Review tab, Proofing group, Thesaurus, Set Language. Spell check is a formatting attribute of the text. If you copy formatted text from another document then the formatting will come with it and if that include the no proofing option, then that's what you get. You need to either re-apply the proofing parameter (as described above) or use Paste Special Unformatted Text so that the formatting of the destination is adopted.

says... In cetain paragraphs the spell checker does not pick up any gramma errors or mis-spelt words. Then other sections of the same document it works perfectly. How can i change this? Whats going wrong? The style for those paragraphs probably has the Do Not Check Spelling attribute turned on. -- Peter Aitken Author, MS Word for Medical and Technical Writers www.tech-word.com |
