Stop proofing errors check when opening long document
Using word 2007 enterprise on stand alone laptop...
I work with a lot of very long documents in development, so I am not very concerned about proofing until we are ready to finalize. Each time I open a document, an icon in the lower left of the Word screen (looks like a book flipping pages with a pen) checks the entire document for proofing errors and when done, allows you to to skip through the document to the errors it found (or do nothing). This dramatically slows down the opening of a document and I do nothing with the error list it compiles. Is there a ways to stop this "scanning the entire document for proofing errors upon open"? If not, is there a way to make it run in background? Thanks Bob |

Stop proofing errors check when opening long document
No, I do want them turned on "as you type". What I am trying to turn off is
the a review of the entire document for spelling/grammer when you open it, because that slows down the opening of long documents. Any other ideas?

No, there aren't and won't be any other ideas. It's all of one piece -- "as
you type" checking starts when you open the document and continues as long as the document is open. The alternative is to turn off "as you type" checking and only run manual checking when you want to allow the time, or select only new material and hit F7.
