Turn Off Spell Checking In Word 2007

Posted by on Sep 12, 2007 | 3 Comments

Most people take advantage of automatic spell checking in Word but there are instances where you may want to turn this feature off. For example, if you are creating a document that contains jargon or highly specialized words that Word does not recognize. Instead of having such words marked as errors, you can easily turn off the spell check feature.

To turn off spell checking in Word 2007:

  1. Click the Microsoft Office button, then click Word Options. Word displays the Word Options dialog box.
  2. Click Proofing
  3. Clear the Check Spelling As You Type check box.
  4. Click OK.

    Thank you Diana – you made my day ;-)

    I’m from Denmark, and very often writing in danish language, but the danes have adopted a lot of english words and Word 2007 get confused when there are 2 languages in the same doc, so thank you for posting this great tip!

    Love from Natasha / Denmark
