In Word 2007, how do I stop autocorrecting or spell checking for a specific
style only? Thanks. Greg Reese |

Stop autocorrect for specific style only
Modify the style to include the "Do not check spelling or grammar" property
(in earlier versions, you'd do this through Format | Language in the Modify Style dialog). If you also set the style to some language other than the one assigned to your .acl (AutoCorrect) file, presumably AutoCorrect won't work, either. -- Suzanne S.

Stop autocorrect for specific style only
Thanks Suzanne.
In one of my custom styles (based on a paragraph style) I did this and it worked. However, in another custom style (based on a character style) it doesn't seem to work. In the latter style, the "Do not check spelling or grammar" box is indeterminate. If I check it, close the Language dialog box with OK, and then open it right back up the box is unchecked and indeterminate again. Any suggestions? Thanks. Greg Reese "Suzanne S.

Stop autocorrect for specific style only
You can absolutely include this property in a character style (because
language is a character property); is your character style based on Default Paragraph Font? -- Suzanne S.

Does the indeterminate checkbox in one style but not the other mean something? Greg -- Suzanne S.

Stop autocorrect for specific style only
Generally, gray means that the setting applies to part, but not all, of a
selection. When modifying a style, that doesn't apply. What's the name of the style for which the "Do not check..." language setting won't "stick"? If you create a new document, does the setting "stick" there? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Greg Reese" wrote in message ...
