I have Word 2003.
I am automating a mail merge from a VB application and it is getting hung up
because of a dialog box that reads "There are too many spelling grammar
error to continue displaying them"...

Anyway, I have unchecked everything I could think of to prevent spell and
grammar checking during merging but I cannot seem to make this go away.

Is there a way to get rid of spelling and grammar checking?

Have the automation code apply "Do not check spelling or grammar" to the
document at an earlier stage. Roughly:

doc.Range.LanguageID = wdNoProofing
