Disable Word grammar/spellcheck for certain users?
Hi,
is it possible to disable the Word grammar/spellcheck function for certain users? Could I e.g. password-protect the activation of the function? Or make it dependent on the user policy? Cheers, Chris |

Cheers, Chris Hi Chris, Normally I'd say something like that could not be done, but you may find a clue in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=257643. By excluding certain users' access to the registry keys listed in that article, you might be able to disable spelling and grammar checking for them. I suspect, though, that it would work only if you're using Word 97, and that Word 2000 or later doesn't follow the same rule. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

You can actually modify the NORMAL.DOT to not Spell and Grammar check all the
default styles. You can additionally remove the Spelling and Grammar menu. This works quite well.
