I don't have spellcheck on but have blue squiggly lines under every
keystroked space in all of my documents. This is a new occurence and
it is distracting - how can I remove it?
According to the help topic "What do the underlines in my document mean?",
Word uses wavy blue underlines to indicate possible
instances of inconsistent formatting.
To turn it off completely, go to Tools > Options > Edit and uncheck "Keep
track of formatting".
To remove the inconsistent formatting (which is the point of having the
underlines), click the underlined text and select one of the suggested
actions -- either format the text with the appropriate style or tell Word to
ignore the inconsistency.
