Hi Susan,

 

The question I have, and I suspect Jayne too, is how do you
force Word to re-spell check a document?

 

I have regularly seen situations where a miss-spelled word
has been accepted in error, and as far as Word is concerned
- that's it!  Check again, and it won't find any errors.

 

George.

Jayne,

 

You have a couple of options to run the spell checker. The
easiest thing to do is press F7 which activates the spell
checker. However, if you want the red squiggly lines under
misspelled words, you'll want to make sure Word is checking
spelling as you type, or in your situation, is indicating
suspect words on an imported file.

 

Click the Office Button in the upper left corner

Click on Word Options, which appears on the bottom bar of
the screen that pops up

Choose Proofing in the left panel

Check the option that says "Check spelling as you type"
under "When correcting spelling and grammar in Word"

 

I recommend you uncheck the grammar checking in this same
section, as you don't need Word telling you it thinks the
author used incorrect grammar.

Hi 

I scanned a document using OpenBook, saved it as a Bana 2003
document. (I have 2007) The text came out fine, but the
spell checker is off. How can I put it back on to check the
spelling? Would I have to wait until I import it into
Duxbury and check it from their?

Any help would be appreciated,
