enforce spell check on an edited conditional IF statement in word
hey,
i have a problem which i can't find a solution to on site-http://word.mvps.org/faqs/mailmerge/ or google. i have a conditional paragraph that is displayed based on an IF statement for each client. if the paragraph is displayed a staff member has to ring the client and types a summary of the chat within the IF statement. this all wor4ks fine howe3ver the issue is that the spell and grammar check is not enforced on the IF statement field/paragraph. is it possible to enable the spell and grammar check on conditional fields etc? we are currently using microsoft word 97. thanks james |

Hi java-ftper,
Assuming the fieldis being converted to text as part of the mailmerge process, you could simply run the spell-check after the merge has been completed - doing it during the mailmerge isn't possible. To expedite/simplify the process, you could set all the text except for the field in question in the mailmerge main document to 'no proofing', so that the spell-check would only test the text the user has entered. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "java-ftper" wrote in message ... hey, i have a problem which i can't find a solution to on site-http://word.mvps.org/faqs/mailmerge/ or google. i have a conditional paragraph that is displayed based on an IF statement for each client. if the paragraph is displayed a staff member has to ring the client and types a summary of the chat within the IF statement. this all wor4ks fine howe3ver the issue is that the spell and grammar check is not enforced on the IF statement field/paragraph. is it possible to enable the spell and grammar check on conditional fields etc? we are currently using microsoft word 97. thanks james |

thanks for your quick response macropod.
your comment about selecting no proofing was very useful and something I had not previously considered. I also found a very interesting article -http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm which I managed to adapt to my requirements. Definitely recommended reading for anyone with a similar issue. James |
