Hi Paul & Linda, This is probably not all that useful but the following code will remove spelling and yellow highlighted items. Perhaps it could be adapted for a button with a key shortcut? Regards Lisa Sub subRemoveYellow(Optional parDocName As Variant) ' Remove any highlighting at all and dark red font Dim oDoc As Document If IsMissing(parDocName) Then Set oDoc = ActiveDocument Else Set oDoc = Documents(parDocName) End If ' Clear Spelling highlights With oDoc.Content.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "" .Highlight = True .Font.Color = wdColorDarkRed With .Replacement .ClearFormatting .Highlight = False .Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic .Text = "" End With .Execute Format:=True, Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With ' Clear yellow highlights With oDoc.Content.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "" .Highlight = True With .Replacement .ClearFormatting .Highlight = False .Text = "" End With .Execute Format:=True, Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With Set oDoc = Nothing ' -------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- End Sub > -----Original Message----- > From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On > Behalf Of Linda F.
