Re: Do not check spelling or grammar continued

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Well, it is very mysterious then. If selecting the entire document and
clearing the check box didn't stop this message from the spelling checker,
then I don't know what to say. I confess I never actually run the spell
check explicitly; I depend on "Check spelling as you type" and my own
proofreading. If you want to troubleshoot further, you might want to treat
the document as corrupt; see

When Word tells you it hasn't checked the part of the document that it

told not to check, that means that some of the text has been formatted
as
"Do not check spelling or grammar." You could waste time hunting for the
specific bits that are formatted this way, but it is much more efficient
just to select the entire document and clear that check box in the
Language
dialog, with the result that none of the text is any longer so marked.
You
said that you checked the box; that will keep Word from checking *any*
of
the text. What you need to do is *clear* the box (remove the check).

First I unchecked the box and nothing changed. Then I checked it again
because I thought maybe I had to reset it. I went back and forth
several times and neither had any effect. I did it both ways also with
select all (highlighted) and unlighted nothing worked.

I thank you for you help. I meant no disrespect. I only said what I
said because it seemed you weren't listening. I guess it seems like I
wasn't listening. .
