Proofing at start up, Word 2007

[Jake]

CAN any one please tell me how can i PREVENT word 2007 from carrying out an
automatic proofing/spell checking when a file is opened.

i want that thing to work ONLY while typing NOT when i open a file !!

all my files are 100 pages and more, ITS HELL pain in the ass to check every
file i open. it takes ages and it kills my PC as well.

any help!!

So it seems that no one is interested in helping me :-(

I think maybe we don't know what you're talking about. Aside from "Check
spelling as you type," Word does not by default run any sort of spelling
check at startup. Do you perhaps have some sort of add-in that causes this
behavior.

 

[Tony Jollans]

If I understand correctly this is a facet of "Check spelling as you type" -
when you open a document, Word has to go through it adding the coloured
squiggly lines. Checking as you type really means identifying in the UI at
all times.

there is something called proofing! right ?? now the example is :

a word file of 100 pages.

when i open it. it does not respond for a minute because its doing some
thing called {Checking for proofing errors} ! and thats not by any addins its
built in feature.

this check runs automatically when i open any word file and the checking
indicator on the statue bar shows a little book with a pen moving on it.

again thats a built-in feature!! the only add-ins i have are
1- save as pdf/xps formate
2- get started rebbon tab
3- microsoft math

Now how can i stop that automated thing from runnig at openning a file !!

 

[Jake]

Finally some one got it . Yes exaclty. so the only solution is to turn off
the <Check spelling as you type> right !! how can i do that !!

if its turned off. then a document is opened. then the feature is turned on
again! does that mean that WORD will go through all the document again !!!

 

[Jake]

Any answer !?!?!????????????????????????????????????????????/

 

[Tony Jollans]

I'm sorry. I've been doing something else. I drop in here and answer
questions as and when I can. I don't work for Microsoft and I don't get paid
for it. If you expect answers that quickly, you're going to have to pay
someone. Alternatively you could try it and see for yourself what happens.

I don't think that is proofing but rather repaginating.

To turn off automatic spell check and grammar check in Word: Click Office
button | Word Options. In the Proofing category, clear the "Check spelling
as you type" and "Mark grammar errors as you type" options. Then click OK.
