I regularly write documents with mixed content, that is, English, Chinese,
Greek, etc. I have my spelling checker on all the time and most of the time
it works good. When I have a romanized Chinese word like "Kongzi" it might
signal that it is a spelling mistake, but I just add it to my custom
dictionary (or 'ignore' it). Usually when I include Chinese characters, they
are NOT marked as spelling mistakes, but in my current document all of the
Chinese characters have that red line underneath. I don't want to add them to
my dictionary (if that's even possible), and I don't want to click 'ignore'
for every case. There must be something I can do so it ignores the Chinese.
As I said, it doesn't do this on all my documents with mixed content.

I'm using Windows Vista and Word 2007.

TIA

You can hide the spelling errors in your document. The way that I usually do
this is by clicking the spelling and grammar check mark on a word document
and then, when the spell check dialog box has appeared, click on options and
scroll down to exceptions for. (Since I assume you are finding the red
underline to be annoying rather than being useful) I would click on the
check box that says "hide spelling errors" in this document only.

The problem should be resolved after you've done that. Hope that this
was

useful to you. Good luck.

Thanks Russell. I considered that, but I do like my spelling checked while I
type. I assume you don't know why the program thinks the Chinese characters
are spelling mistakes in this document and not others?

Right now, I've managed to get rid of them by highlighting the Chinese
characters, right-clicking, and changing the language to Chinese. It's
time-consuming and I've never had to do this before.

It's very strange that Word doesn't recognize Chinese as Chinese. Did
you type the characters, or did you paste them from some other
document in which they might have somehow been marked as English?
