Error Indication

[Guest]

When using the grammer/spell check option in MS Word 2003, it gives
indication of an error with a squiggly red underline where the program
suspects the error is. My question is, can one change the way it does this?
For instance, make it highlight the entire word or something to that effect.
I ask because when proofing a long document, I tend to do so with multiple
pages on the screen (I usually have the page view size set at 50%, thus
giving me three pages across), and seeing those small squiggly red underlines
is at times quite difficult.

So... can this be done. and if so, how?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Running a macro containing the following code will change the color of the
font of mis-spelled words.

Dim anerror As Range
For Each anerror In ActiveDocument.SpellingErrors
anerror.Font.Color = wdColorRed
Next anerror

After you have corrected the errors, you will want to change the font back
to auto. You can do that with the following code in a macro:

ActiveDocument.Range.Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic
