Spelling & Grammar
Using Word 2003 to produce letters using data from a mainframe system - if
text is added to the document when letter is completed, some of it will highlight spelling & grammar mistakes, but some areas of the template do not highlight mistakes. All the template, including headers and footers have been marked with the spelling & grammar unchecked, however, when the template is complete, the area where mistakes are NOT highlighted, shows as DO NOT CHECK FOR SPELLING & GRAMMAR. |

The formatting options are part of the formatting of the text you have
inserted. Whether or not the spelling option is checked will depend on where the text came from and the style at the cursor when it was entered. Select the text and change the option as required. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jen_180 wrote: Using Word 2003 to produce letters using data from a mainframe system - if text is added to the document when letter is completed, some of it will highlight spelling & grammar mistakes, but some areas of the template do not highlight mistakes.

Spelling & Grammar
Thank you for your help. I have revisited the document and all the text is
set up with the same style and format and with "Do not check spelling & grammar" unchecked. Most of the document is o.k., however, when it reaches a paragraph with an IF statement at the start, although the paragraph etc is set up correctly the spelling & grammar check does not work. If I remove the IF statement then it does work. Do you know if this is a problem with using IF statements in documents and if it is possible to solve it?

Spelling & Grammar
If you mean the entered result of a conditional statement, then spell check
does not apply within fields by default. You can apply the language parameter to the resulting text, but I know of no way to insert a field and have it spell checked automatically. The best you can do is run a macro on the completed document eg With Selection .WholeStory .LanguageID = wdEnglishUS .NoProofing = False Application.CheckLanguage = False End With http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Set the language ID to that of your preferred language -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jen_180 wrote: Thank you for your help.
