Spell check some documents and not others?
Is there a way to have Word *not* automatically check the spelling as I
go for a particular document (say, a very large one where this can make the process of opening it an ordeal) while still having it check spelling by default in all other documents? I don't think the "Hide spelling errors in this document" option actually does this, and I'm at a loss to find another setting that might. |

What version of Word are you using? In 2007 Options you can individually select documents which will not be auto checked, leaving the default as auto-check John "Jezebel" wrote in message ...

Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar: Hide spelling errors in this document.
This still allows you to run spell check manually. If you don't want the document to be spell-checked at all, Ctrl+A to Select All, then go to Tools | Language | Set Language and check "Do not check spelling or grammar." -- Suzanne S.

This is not the route for Word 7. There it is Start Button | Word Options | Proofing John Star Button "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Word 7.0 is Word for Windows 95, so I assume you mean Word 2007. Nowhere in
Jeff's post do I see a reference to the version he is using. -- Suzanne S.

Sorry! it is Office 2007 of course. You are right that he had not told us the version but the words "Hide spelling errors in this document" Are exactly what appears in the proofing pane of my Word 2007 Since he does not respond I am going to drop this thread after today Best wishes John "Suzanne S.

That option (in those exact words) has been in Word for as many versions
