Spelling/Grammar seems to not be disabled
I have a document that's around 170 pages. I think I've disabled the
Spelling/Grammar checks via the methods shown below. But, virtually any time I make changes to document, it appears that the Spelling/Grammar check is being performed. Whenever I make changes in the document, there's a book icon at the bottom of the page in the status bar that shows pages turning with what appears to be a pencil on them. When I put my pointer over that icon, it says "Spelling and Grammar Status". While this check is occuring, Word is slower to respond. I'd prefer to manually do the Spelling/Grammar check instead of having it start automatically whenever I type something. Here's how I've attempted to disable the automatic checking: 1. Tools -- Spelling and Grammar -- Options -- then uncheck "Check spelling as you type" and uncheck "Check grammar as you type" and uncheck "Check grammar with spelling". 2. Edit -- Select All, then Tools -- Language -- Set Language -- then check the box beside "Do not check spelling or grammar". The box then contains a green checkmark. Note that when I repeat this process, the box beside "Do not check spelling or grammar" always contains a green box instead of a green checkmark. So, it seems that possibly my selection isn't being applied to *all* the text. Any ideas how to disable completely the spelling and grammar checking? Thanks very much. |

Try using "Hide spelling/grammatical errors in this document." You'll still
be able to spell check explicitly, and the setting will not affect "Check spelling as you type" in other documents. -- Suzanne S.
