spell check

[rexmann]

Hi All

I am using office 2007 and 2002 and have a word document (my CV) and I want
to switch of the spell/grammar checker for the document (it only seems to
allow me to ignore it once?). Is there a setting I can change so it will not
keep highlighting the suspected error. Equally I am going to send it via
email so I would like the spell check switched off for the person who opens
it.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Rexmann

I'm not sure if you can turn off spell check, but you can add the suspected
error to your dictionary so it will ignore it. I right click on the word and
then click on 'add to dictionary'.
Not sure if you can turn it off for people you're sending it to as, I
believe, it's something that's connected to the program and not the document,
but I could be wrong.
Hope that helps, at least a little!

Hi,

Not sure about 2007 but in 2003 if you selcect Tools>options>Spelling &
Grammar and check the Hide spelling errors in this document box.

That should do the trick.

For this you want to check the boxes for "Hide spelling errors in this
document" and "Hide grammar errors in this document." In Word 2002, these
will be on the Spelling & Grammar tab of Tools | Options, and they will be
in the corresponding location in Word 2007. That will prevent Word (on any
machine) from displaying wavy underlines but does not prevent spell/grammar
check from being run explicitly (using F7). If you want to do that, you need
to format the entire document as "Do not check spelling or grammar." For
