Microsoft Word from Office 2000

[archiesemaj]

Occasionally when using spell checker in MS Word (Office 2000), a HELP advisory appears noting the spelling is correct except for the section I marked to not check spelling (or writing to that effect). I think the situation occurs when spelling identifies a word it doesn't recognize and I select ignore, and then at a later time I request a recheck of spelling. But I am not sure since it doesn't consistantly do it. However, when I check spelling again in the document, the HELP advisory reports: "The spelling check is complete. Text marked with do not check spelling or grammar is not checked".

My question is: How can I determine what text is marked with "do not check spelling or grammar"? I don't do anything overt that I know of except possibly select ignore when spell check is working. This problem occurs in text existing in several pages, so I am concerned as to how much text is being skipped by spell check.

It mentions the option in the "Language Dialogue Box". To see this, go to Tools, Language, Set Language. The article also mentions Page Field issues.

Perhaps this will point you in the right direction!

Good Luck! Mudskipper
