After running spell check in Word 2002 I get a message box saying:

The Spelling Check is Complete.
Text marked with "Do not check spelling or grammar" was skipped.

How does text get marked to not be checked? More specifically, how can this
be removed?

The DO NOT CHECK SPELLING AND GRAMMAR check box is located
in Tools>Language>Set Language.

Hi John,

Select all text, then go to tools -> Language -> Set Language, and uncheck "Do not check Spelling and Grammar".

Furthermore you should go to Tools -> Options -> Spelling and Grammar, click on "Recheck Document". This will ensure
you have a clean start, with the right settings.

There is another cause for this message. Word 2000 - and I
suspect later versions - don't check the footer in your
document. This generates the message and so far I've been
unable to suppress it.
There is the added disadvantage that the presence of text
in a footer area replaces & suppresses the readability
statistics from the body of the document - unless someone
out there knows of a way round this. The only solution
I've found so far is highlighting the body and checking
that separately which is a time-waster.

Final note, the "do not check" attribute is equivalent to a font formatting
attribute. That is why you were told to select the entire document before
making the change. It only applies to the area you have selected.
