MS Office Forum / Word / Spelling and Grammar / November 2004I swear, I unchecked the box!
I am having trouble with the tools > language > set language > "Do Not Check Spelling or Grammar" box in Word 2003. It just won't stay unchecked. I keep selecting all text, unchecking the box. But, obvious spelling errors remain unchecked in random parts of the text. Please help! Hi Jessica, > I am having trouble with the tools > language > set language > "Do Not > Check Spelling or Grammar" box in Word 2003. It just won't stay > unchecked. I keep selecting all text, unchecking the box. But, > obvious spelling errors remain unchecked in random parts of the text. The first thought that occurs to me is that this text may be formatted with a language not activated on your machine. If you click in such a skipped word: - When you look in the Status Bar at the bottom of the Word window, which language is named (just to the left of the little "book")? - Is there any chance you may have once chosen "Ignore" for these terms in this document? If so, then going to Tools/Options/Spelling and Grammar and clicking "Recheck" might help.

I have narrowed it down to the footer, where I have inserted the FILENAME. I use Insert/Field/FileName to do this. I've even tried setting up a Character Style for just this area of the footer. No matter how many times I uncheck the "Do not check..." box in Language (and the only language I installed is English), Word always resets the text to Do not check. Doing Tools/Options/Spelling & Grammar/Recheck Document has no effect. Doing Tools/Language/Set Language also has no effect. This problem is 100% consistent. Any help you have on this would be much appreciated. Mahalol nui!

It is, frankly, a real nuisance. I've narrowed it down to the Footer, where I have inserted the filename using Insert/Field/FileName. I've even tried setting up a Character Style for this area of the footer. No matter how many times I highlight that text and uncheck the "Do not check spelling or grammar" box, Word always sets it back. Tools/Options/Spelling & Grammar/Recheck Document has no effect. Tools/Language/Set Language has no effect. This problem is 100% consistent. Any assistance you have would be very greatly appreciated. Mahalo nui!

Yes, field results are almost always formatted as "no proofing". As soon as a field is updated, any language formatting you've applied is lost. Mostly, I run across this complaint in the mail merge newsgroups. On my website, in the mail merge FAQ, you should find an article about retaining language formatting during mail merge. The technique described (nesting the field in a Quote field) should work for any field type. You may need to work with the field codes directly: use Alt+F9 to turn them on and off. And to insert a new field around an existing field: Select the existing field Press Ctrl+F9 to insert field brackets Type in the field name and anything else required > I am using Word 2002 SP3, and am having exactly the same problem as Jessica > describes.

Your fix worked perfectly. It's a little tricky to make sure you get everything in the right place within the field (and IMHO highly unnecessary to have to do it in the first place), but your work-around is great. Seeing as I'm using this in my NORMAL.DOT > Hi =?Utf-8?B?UmljayBWLg==?=, > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply > in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Seeing as I'm using this in my NORMAL.DOT, it's going to help out in everything I do in Word. Thanks a bunch. Take care. Malama pono.
