Re: Text marked with "Do not check spelling or grammar" was skipped

"Do not check spelling..." is a language formatting attribute. This kind of thing often happens when text is pasted from another document or from an internet browser. Select the text, and choose Tools - Language - Set Language. Remove the check next to "Do not check spelling or grammar". (You can also get to this dialog by double-clicking the language indicator in Word's status bar).

To get this dialog in Word 2007, if you see the language indicator in the status bar, click it. If the language indicator isn't displayed, right-click the status bar, and click Language. The language indicator should now show up.

Hello,

I have a user who's document is not catching all the mispelled words. I
copied some of the words to a new document and ran the spell checker -
received this message:

"The spelling and grammar check is complete. Text marked with "Do not check
spelling or grammar" was skipped."

This is the first time I've seen this message. Can someone tell me how this
option got applied, and how it can be turned off (if it can)?

Thanks so much!
