How can I spellcheck a doc without spellchecking its comments?
I'm using Word 2003. I always run the spellchecker on documents with
comments, and at the end, I'm always checking the comments, which I never have to do. I think this is new in Word 2003. Anyway, I don't want to check the comments. Is there some way to switch checking off for the comments? Thanks, Linus |

Have you tried setting the "Do not check spelling or grammar" option
for the Comment Text style? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Linus" wrote in message ... I'm using Word 2003.

How can I spellcheck a doc without spellchecking its comments?
Sounds like it should be the answer, but when I try this, it doesn't really
work. Best I can tell, my comments aren't in the "Comment Text" text style at all. They're in the "Normal" style. ? But let me tinker with some more, maybe I'm missing something....

Comment text shouldn't use any other style than Comment Text, unless
you've changed that. If you are not seeing the correct style in the Styles and Formatting pane, it could be that it just isn't displayed; Word's idea of which styles should and shouldn't display in the various categories remains a mystery (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/sfpa...tingPane.html). Another thing to consider: Are you viewing the comment text in balloons? Then you may want to try setting the property for the Balloon Text style too. If you need assistance with the Modify Style dialog box, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Linus" wrote in message ...

Stefan,
Thanks, those are all helpful pointers in useful directions. I make some progress when I start out with a clean document and try to make these adjustments. There are various quirks, though, and it all seems more complicated than I'd like. My demands are pretty high, because I use Word every day for translating natural language -- the docs always contain at least two languages. So there's also this complicating factor involving the automatic language detection, which certainly doesn't work (be nice to turn that off completely, the developers just overreached there)... The Styles info isn't presented as plainly as I'd like, but either I'll figure it out using your advice, or I'll come up with a simpler solution. In practice, I just kill the spellchecker when it hits the comments, because that always comes last. And that's certainly not difficult...

Turn off the auto-detection of language (in Tools | Language | Set
Language). Make sure that you use different styles for the different languages, and that the language is correctly set for those styles. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Linus" wrote in message ...
