How do I get Word to underline spelling errors? Neil 12/19/2008 7:11:01 PM Even though my proofing settings are set to check and mark spelling errors, and my language option is similarly set, Word still won't underline spelling errors. And when I get it to check the entire document, it doesn't find errors, but says all is well. What else might be the problem? Thanks! -- Neil

RE: How do I get Word to underline spelling errors? Luke M 12/19/2008 7:46:02 PM If you're positive its a spelling error, one other possibility would be that you have inaccurate data in your CUSTOM.DIC file. You may need to open this file (usually in notebook) and see if someone has inadvertantly added a misspelled word to your dictionary. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Neil" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Even though my proofing settings are set to check and mark spelling errors, > and my language option is similarly set, Word still won't underline spelling > errors.

RE: How do I get Word to underline spelling errors? Neil 12/20/2008 5:13:00 PM It does not pertain to a particular word - I've entered a number of different spelling errors, and they are not highlighted. They used to be and now they're not. -- Neil "Luke M" wrote: [Quoted Text] > If you're positive its a spelling error, one other possibility would be that > you have inaccurate data in your CUSTOM.DIC file.

Re: How do I get Word to underline spelling errors? Neil 12/23/2008 5:13:02 PM Thanks for that! It worked! How it became disabled in the first place will be, I suppose, one of life's little mysteries. -- Neil "Suzanne S.
