Spell Check Quits
I am having a problem with spell check. It works fine until I insert a
citation into the paper. If I Insert a citation then edit citation to place a page number and finally convert citation to static text the spell check stops checking. I then have to go to the review ribbon and click on the set language tab because the box by the "Do not check spelling or grammar" will then be checked. I then unclick the box and spell check will work fine until the next time I do the above insert citation steps (inserteditconvert to text). I have tried to repair word and it doesn't work. I have gone into the registry and deleted the proofing tools so it made a new proofing tools registry all to no avail. Thanks for any advice you may have! |

List the steps (exactly) that creates this problem and which Word version is
involved? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Otyokwa wrote: I am having a problem with spell check.

Spell Check Quits
I am using Word 2007. The steps:
1. I quote something from say a journal article 2. On the References ribbon I "Insert Citation" 3. Once citation is inserted into paper, I right click to edit citation and put in a page number of the quote. 4. I finally right click on citation and "convert citation to static text". 5. When I do the above I then have to go to the review ribbon and click the set language tab and unclick the "do not check spelling or grammar" box. I must do this every time after I do steps 1-4. The language is set to English and it is not checked before I do steps 1-4.

Spell Check Quits
I think this is normal behaviour with fields and should only affect the
field that has been converted to text - however it is easy to resolve. Select the text and press CTRL+Space to re-apply the underlying style. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Otyokwa wrote: I am using Word 2007.

Spell Check Quits
It is normal behavior for the box in the language tab to check itself? It
doesn't just affect the converted text it affects everything that is typed after the citation. So I can do steps 1-4 below and then start typing sdsdsds or whatever misspelling I wish after the citation and it will not mark it as spelled wrong until I uncheck that box mentioned below. If I go and type sdsdsds before the citation it will mark it as spelled incorrectly.

Spell Check Quits
The language (which includes the "Do not check" property) is applied at the
insertion point and continues to apply just the same as if you had started typing at the end of some text that was bold or italic. Unless you "turn off" specific formatting, it continues in effect. If, as Graham suggests, you press Ctrl+Spacebar before you start typing after the field (or, preferably, with the field selected), you should have no problem. -- Suzanne S.

Spell Check Quits
I am sorry but I don't understand. This seems like a glitch in the software.
Why in the world would it automatically stop spell checking my entire document just because I inserted a citation? I did not tell it not to check spelling. So what does this have to do with the citation? "Suzanne S.

Spell Check Quits
It's a limitation of the function, which inserts citations with the spell
check formatting option switched off. Any formatting option applied to text remains for any text you continue to type until you change the option. CTRL+Space will reapply the underlying paragraph style thus restoring the spell check. If you add citations later, only the citations will have the spell check switched off. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Otyokwa wrote: I am sorry but I don't understand.
