Is the message literally correct? That is, if you have "Check spelling as
you type" turned on, is it finding a lot of "errors"? If so, and if these
are not really errors but just text in a language Word doesn't recognize
(and this could include computer code or a lot of proper names or whatever),
then there are several tacks you could take:
1. If you're quite confident of your spelling ability (or the "errors" are
so numerous as to make it impossible to see any legitimately marked errors
anyway), just select the entire document, go to Tools | Language | Set
Language, and check the box for "Do not check spelling or grammar."
2. If the "errors" are confined to identifiable strings of text (code or
names), define a character style that is Default Paragraph Font + Do not
check spelling or grammar. Apply this style to the text you don't want
proofed.
3. As a temporary fix, you can use "Hide spelling/grammatic errors in this
document." This allows you to run the spelling checker manually (using F7),
but suppresses display of errors in a specific document without requiring
you to turn "Check spelling/grammar as you type" off for the entire
application.

just an update.
all work grind to a halt now.
problem 2 had become severe. every single keystroke that i typed induces
"there are too many spelling or grammatical errors..." pop-up message. i
have
unchecked automatic spelling and grammar check under Tools - Spelling as
well as the tab under Language - Set Language.
i tried to copy/paste to a new document with the same results.
would appreciate help and advice regarding how to salvage the document.
the
document is not lost but further work is impossible with the pop-up
appearing
every single key stroke.
would appreciate advice and help what to do next regarding saving and
resuming the work.
thank you,
jes
