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

With Language selected in the list of Status Bar tools, your language should appear on the status bar. Here, the language tool says "English (United States)". Do you not have that? If not, then perhaps there are too many status bar option selected to display the language tool. Try right-clicking the status bar and turning off some options you're less likely to need to see if your language appears.

Hi Herb,

Thank you so much for replying to my post. I am using Word 2007, I have
"Language" selected in my status bar options, but there is no icon appearing
on the status bar. When i turn it off, nothing changes on the status bar,
when I turn the option on, nothing appears on the status bar. Any suggestions
on that one? I'm anxious to test your solution to my problem.

Thanks, again!!

"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.
