Tuesday, December 01, 2009 – Permalink – REDUSE MISSPELLINGSYou might be missing typos in tablesIf you've ever found typos in a table or list that you're positive you remember spell checking, chances are that the typos are in words that are purposely skipped during the spell check.By default, SpellChecker ignores words that are all upper-case or that have numbers in them. In most cases, this is probably fine. However, especially with purchased data, you'll occasionally come across tables where everything is capitalized. Fortunately, you can change the way SpellChecker works so that all words are included. To do so, run the SpellChecker on a data selection that will cause the Spelling dialog box to be displayed. Then, click the Options button and clear the Words In UPPERCASE and Words With Numbers check boxes. Finally, click OK and then Cancel. See all Topics word Labels: Spelling <Doug Klippert@ 3:46 AM

Thursday, July 30, 2009 – Permalink – Protected Spell CheckerCorrect the protectedUnfortunately, Word's protection feature disables a huge number of important functions, even if you only protect a single section of a document. Besides the spellchecker, many other items on the View, Insert, Format, Tools and Table menus are disabled, as well as most items on the Drawing, Database, Visual Basic and Picture toolbars. This MS Word MVP FAQ Site article lays out the steps needed to Enable the spellchecker in a protected document. One of the important elements is "NoReset=True". The act of removing and then re-protecting a document will reset the data without this line.In Office 2007 Protection is found on the Review tab:
