Is there anyway to make word document display without any of those wiggle
underlined suggestions, like smart tag, spelling and grammar, etc?

I just want it to display CLEAN sheet of document, on ANY machine..
I can turn off all those options in option menu.. but it doesn't stick to
document,

it's actually my resume and want to present it clean.
thanks.
 
Hi David

In order to change these settings and carry them across
to other computers you will have to resort to using some
VBA code. Follow these steps and you should get the
results you're after.

- Open your document,
then bring up the VBA editor (Alt-F11)

- On the project pane, you should see the name of
your document listed as one of the projects.

- Expand the "Microsoft Word Objects" folder under your
document project.

- Now double-click "ThisDocument". You should see a blank
code window pop up.

- Paste the following into the code window.

Private Sub Document_Open()

With ActiveDocument
.ShowGrammaticalErrors = False
.ShowSpellingErrors = False
End With

End Sub

- Save your document

Best of luck,
Dennis
 
David,

I should add to my previous post. Be aware that other
users will receive a warning message that your document
contains macros. If they decide to disable macros then
you're stuck with the same problem again.. sorry.

For spelling and grammar, check the boxes for "Hide spelling
errors/grammatical errors in this document" on the Spelling and Grammar tab
of Tools | Options; these settings are saved with the document and thus are
portable. For Smart Tags, just remove them all (Smart Tags tab of Tools |
AutoCorrect Options). The blue wavy underlines (inconsistent formatting)
will I think show up only if "Keep track of formatting" is enabled, and
that's an environment setting on a given user's machine. Also be sure you
Accept All Changes in Document so you don't have any tracked changes showing
up.
