Very often I cannot get Word to spell check documents I recieve from clients. I select All, choose the right language, click on the checkbox for "Do not automatically check spelling" so that the "x" goes away. But nothing happens, typos or unknown words are not underlined as I would expect. When I thereafter copy the whole content into a new document, the spellchecking starts and all is as it should be. How can I get this to work in the original document?

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Without thinking too much about this, I would expect Word to do the spell check when the x re-appears, not when it disappears?

Uncheck the "Hide the spelling errors" box
Dec 30, 2003
Go to Tools - Options - Spell checking options - and uncheck the box "Hide all errors" (the names may vary, as I use Word in German), but this is the option, which is responsible for showing or hiding the spell checking marks. Or you can double click on the "Book" beseide language, this should take the same effect.
Kind regards Jerzy

TOPIC STARTER
That's what I did...

... so I'm wondering why Word does not check, though everything should be alright. The check box is empty, but Word does nothing. this happens not always, but often when editing originals from clients.

Word starts to check
Dec 30, 2003
sometimes first after making any change in the document, but not before. And did you check the styles? If they are set to "no checking" Word will not check either. What I do is to uncheck the box in Tools, set the styles to my language and put the checking on, then select the whole text (CTRL+A) and select my language once again and uncheck the box "Do not check spelling".
All in all Word does then start to show spelling errors, but sometimes first after doing any modifi... See more

All in all Word does then start to show spelling errors, but sometimes first after doing any modifikation within the text. I don´t know why it is so.
