I inherited a document and when I went to run spell check I get the message
that some text was skipped because it was marked, "Do not check spelling or
grammar". How do I turn this feature off so I can check the full document?
 
Ctrl+A to Select All, then go to Tools | Language | Set Language, select the
correct language, and clear the check box for "Do not check spelling and
grammar."

It's an attribute of specific parts of the text, just like italic or bold.

Select the entire document (Ctrl+A), then go to Tools > Language > Set
Language and clear the check box for "Do not check spelling or grammar". (If
the box initially contains a green square, that means some of the text has
it turned on and some has it turned off. You want the box to be empty.)

Even if the styles are formatted as "Do not check," changing this in the
Language dialog should permit spell checking (provided the spelling checker
is properly installed).
 
I don't konw but I modified style and now, it works. I am not getting what
do you mean by language dialog box. can you guide me?

Thanks,
 
If you had referred to the article I referenced, you would have been guided
to the Language dialog: Review | Proofing | Set Language.
