I have written a book and run spelling checker. I used the ignore settings
for a number of items challenged. I wish I hadn't and so want to rerun the
spell check.

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar | Recheck
Document.

Thanks Garfield for this but I still have a problem!

I do not seem to have the "Recheck" option on the Spelling & Grammar" tab.
(I am using WORD 2000)

I haven't used Word 2000 in years, but there should be a button
labeled either "Check Document" or "Recheck Document" in Tools |
Options | Spelling & Grammar.

Thanks a second time! Your first advice was quite sound. Microsoft is too
clever by half. I did not want to take a chance with my work so tried your
advice on a copy of it. This copy had not been checked and so the option to
recheck did not appear. When I tried it on a document that had already been
through spell check the magic button to recheck was there!

Many thanks.

Yasmina.

That's fine - but there is so much in Word that I will never use. I am quite
happy deveolping my skills as I need them. Usually " Help" gives me all the
advice I need but on this occasion it did not answer my question. Then of
course I would need to take courses in all the other software I use - where
does itstop?

I am a Pensioner who just uses his computer for leisure use so it is not too
important to me to become super proficient.

If you regularly use Word you will quickly save time by spending time to
learn how it works. Otherwise it will frustrate you. The thing about Help is
(1) it won't answer the question you don't ask, and (2) often you need to
know the name Word gives a function to find it in Help. Take a look at my
users guide below or at Shauna Kelly's site.
