Re: Mass Style modification?

Hi bhebert,

Open one of the documents, select all and go to Tools> Language. If just
some of the paragraphs in the document were flagged with "Do not check...",
then the "Do not check" box will display a dash. Click on it once and the
dash will change to a check mark; click on it again and the box will go
empty. Click okay and your entire document will no longer be set to "do not
check...."

This shouldn't be difficult to do for each document (as opposed to each
style).
