Although the spelling and grammar feature in Word is useful, may people find it annoying to see red and green squiggly underlines throughout their documents, even though there are no spelling and grammar errors.

In Word 2007, the problem lies in the editing language so you will likely want to change the options using the steps listed below.

1. Click the Office button.
2. Select Word Options.
3. Click Language Settings on the Popular tab.
4. Verify that your preferred language is selected under Primary editing language.
5. Under Enabled editing languages, select any unwanted languages.
6. Click Remove.
7. Click OK.

Now Word 2007 will only check the spelling and grammar for your preferred language so you should see less of those annoying squiggly lines.
