permanently uncheck the "do not check spelling or grammar" box

L

L1

Word 2007 -- I keep going to "Review" -> "Set Language" and unchecking the
"Do not check spelling or grammar" box, but it keeps magically rechecking
itself. Because of this word is not underlining my misspelled words. I can
type sldkfj or replase and Word will just let it slide. It's very annoying.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Use the Office button > Open command to open Normal.dotm in the
Templates folder. Select the single empty paragraph in that template
and repeat the unchecking there.

Insert and then delete a space character to be sure Word knows to
save. Save the template and close it.
