find text marked "Do not check spelling or grammar"
In W2003 how can I find text that is set to not be checked by spell/grammar
checker? I have Selected all the text in my document and set the Tools--Language--Set language to US English. I also made sure that do not check spelling or grammar are NOT checked. I also have check spelling and grammar as you type checked in Tools OptionSpelling and Grammar. thanks in advance for ideas. |

find text marked "Do not check spelling or grammar"
In the Find dialog, leave the "Find what" box blank, click on More to expand
the dialog, then click Format | Language and check the box for "Do not check spelling or grammar." Then Find All. -- Suzanne S.

find text marked "Do not check spelling or grammar"
thanks Suzanne. This helps. (I am used to W97 where you define no proofing as a language to Find and then choose the language you want in its place for the Replace.) I noticed that the default language that comes up in the Find What is "no language." In my case, US English is above it is also checked. Does it make a difference if I leave the "no language" setting as is -or- should I always change that to US English, even when it is shown above no language default already and is checked? In other words, what does the active checkmark of US English signify and how/what triggers it. "Suzanne S.

find text marked "Do not check spelling or grammar"
I think I'd leave well enough alone unless you're searching for a specific
word with specific language formatting or for any text with specific language formatting (for example, if you're trying to root out all the English (US) that's crept in and restore it to English (UK)). If you just want to find a given word, phrase, etc., regardless of its language formatting, then the "no language" setting is what you want. -- Suzanne S.
