[mso] Re: Word 2003 Will Not Spell Check Parts of a Document

Hi Ray ... I would NOT do the registry tweaks I suggested if you've now
fixed the problem ... As I said in my first reply to you, " Ray ... if you
are sure you have successfully turned off "do not check
spelling and grammar" in all affected parts of your document and it keeps
getting turned back on, I would seriously suspect document corruption ..."

If putting the section into Notepad and bringing it back fixed it, then I'd
DEFINITELY say it was document corruption ... I'd make a backup copy of that
document NOW while it's working just in case there's more corruption just
waiting to rear its ugly head.

Like I say in that page I sent you to, corruption is stored in the paragraph
markers and deleting them might have done the same as moving it into
Notepad, since it's usually the formatting that causes the corruption and
that's stored in the paragraph markers. 

Glad it's fixed.

To All,

Anne said, " In my experience most of the worst
problems to crack open in Word usually originate from more than one
contributor to a document and several sections being combined, with
different settings to each of the sections they have contributed."

The registry tweaks in the proofing tools folder previously mentioned by
Linda 
are probably in need of doing on my PC, however, the problems with spell
check 
and hyphenation evaporated when I deleted the entire section (which did have

more than one source). I copied the contents of that section to a simple
text 
editor then transferred it from there back into my Word document, and all is

well. I did lose some font styles and other bits of formatting, but all were

easily restored.

Many thanks to all who helped.

Ray Shapp
