Hi,
When I use the spelling & grammar check in Word 2007 I get this message:

"The spelling & grammar check is complete. text marked with "do not check spelling & grammar" was skipped."

Can someone please tell me what I need to do so I can check everything?

Have a good day,
RScotti

remove "nospam" in order to email me.

Press Ctrl+A to select the whole document. Click the language indicator
(probably English) on the status bar (bottom of window), and in the Language
dialog, remove the check next to "Do not check spelling or grammar."

Hi Herb,
I must be doing something wrong? There is no check in that box?
The Detect language automatically is checked.
These were both under The little dictionary book in the status bar than right click on Set Language I didn't even have
to use Ctrl +A

Herb,
PS:
I just did another doc and the message didn't come up but I know I haven't changed anything?
Sorry, but I don't understand this.

Might there be text set to "Do not check..." in the headers/footers?

Hi Herb,
Sorry to be a pest!
There is nothing in Headers & footers except the different styles I clicked on remove header/Footer but I wasn't using
any. Also checked page number.

Okay... Press Ctrl+A and look again at the checkbox. Is it really empty, or
is it grayed/blued? If the latter then it means that part of the selection
contains text marked as "Do not check".

If it's really empty... are there any text boxes in the document? If so,
text boxes aren't selected when you press Ctrl+A. So, if those contain "Do
not check" text, then that could be what's triggering the message. So might
text contained in footnotes/endnotes, which are also left out of the Ctrl+A
selection in the body of the document.

We'll hunt it down! It just takes persistence. ;-)
