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

Here is the ultimate question. We all realize the problem and we know how to
solve it but why is it happening only on some documents and is there a way to
make sure it never happens again?

That suggests that the problem is probably a broken registry entry or a
corrupted normal.dotm. I would try:

1. Renaming the Data key. It's here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word

2. Renaming Normal.dotm.

Hi Herb, Thanks for the reply. I tried starting word in safe mode as you
described and yes that works. Languages are now visible in the status bar.
Thank You.

Jeff

If you start Word in Safe mode (press Ctrl as Word is starting; click Yes
to
the safe mode prompt), does the language indicator show up in the status
bar
then?

Hi Herb, Im having the same issue as Tammy (language will not show up
in
the
status bar) I tried removing all check marks and just toggling the
check
mark
on/off for languages but nothing happens.
I eventualy got to languages another way but it is set correctly
English(United States) I tried resetting it several ways including
English
default option. I continue to get the spell check error "text was
skipped"
I
am using an APA formated version of Word2007, I read on MS site it
could
have
someting to do with page numbers listed in header box or something to
do
with
comments option? I have read and read and tried everything. I am at
wits
end.
Can you help?

Thank You
Jeff

I'm glad you ultimately found it in the Review tab, but I'm at a loss
as
to
why you're not seeing it in the status bar at the bottom of the Word
window.
The only reason it doesn't show up is when too many status bar options
are
selected (well... registry corruption can make it not show up, too).
As a
test, you might try turning off ALL of the status bar options except
for
Language, and see if it shows up then. Note that it's not an icon, and
it's
not the word "language". If you're in the U.S., it will display as
English
(United States). And, while it looks like it's just there to tell you
the
current language, it's actually clickable--clicking on it displays the
Language dialog box, which is exactly what the Set Language tool in
the
Review tab does.

Hi Herb,

Based on your guidance, I got into Help and found there is a "Set
Language"
button on the Ribbon. This gave me the option you mentioned below -
the
"do
not check spelling and grammar" option. After selecting the text,
clicking
the "Set Language" button, and unchecking the "Do not check..."
button,
all
the incorrectly spelled words were recognized.

Thanks so much for the help - it was exactly what i needed!

Have a great week!

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.

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!
