I tried adding the Spell Recheck button to the Quick Access Toolbar but it
does nothing. If I close the document and reopen it, it will find the items I
had marked to ignore but I want the Recheck to work right away. It does work
if I go into the Word Options and do it but not if I add Recheck as a button
on the Quick Access Toolbar. I also tried creating a macro to do it and that
does not work either.

Hi Judy,

Interesting. If during spell check you cleared a spelling flag by using 'Ignore Once' the Quick Access toolbar will restore those
items, but it doesn't restore the ones cleared by using 'Ignore All', while the command in the Office Button=>Word Options=>Proofing
will reset in either case. Word appears to be storing 'ignore all' choices for the duration of the session (possibly in a temp
file) that isn't reset with the 'single' command.

Assigning a keyboard shortcut to the ToolsSpellingRecheckDocument command mimics the QAT behavior. You can assign a keyboard
shortcut to ToolsSpelling to popup the Word options dialog to the proofing pane and click the Recheck Document choice there, else a
macro to walk the steps to reset the 'ignore all' choices (not a recorded one it appears).

Well, that at least helps me understand it. I did code the macro (copied the
code from the help file, in fact) and it still did not work. I'm setting this
up for a client and we don't want people going into the Options dialog box
for fear of what they might do so the button would have been the best way. We
also wanted it linked to a macro, actually that would not only reset all the
ignored words but also restart the spell check. Thanks for your help with
this.

Archived from groups: per prev. post (more info?)

Judy, I just experienced exactly the same thing: neither the QAT command nor the Word Macro "ToolsSpellingRecheckDocument" works, but spellcheck is reset, as expected, when I access the Recheck Document button via the Office Button or the Spelling dialog>Options button.

I think this is either a newly introduced bug-- or a version-specific bug. The reason I write this is that I HAVE successfully added the Spelling Recheck Document button to the QAT at a couple of client sites.

Today, however, I tried adding this feature it to a custom tab on a ribbon on my own workstation (Office Ultimate SP1, with all updates installed) and it didn't work. I thought it was a problem with my XML. To troublshoot, I deleted the XML from my custom ribbon and tested by adding the Recheck Spelling command to the QAT. It didn't work, so I tried running the Word macro. It also didn't work.

I just ran diagnostics and Word thinks it is A-OK. All I can do is assume is that this is a new bug.

Well, at least I know I am not crazy. Thanks for trying it out. Now, if we
could just find a solution.

It works for me? The function is intended to release those spelling errors
you have added to the 'ignore' list, which it appears to do.
However, there can be problems with the spell check if you have updated
Office with some Office components running. Rename the Word data key in the
registry to OldData
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data
with Office components closed and then restart Word.
If that doesn't fix it you can always delete the new key and rename the old
one back to Data to retain your original configuration.

It appears as though when you run the ToolsSpellingRecheckDocument command
or Spelling Recheck Document does not reset the ignore list for those words
you flagged as All" on. It will reset the ignore list for those words you
flagged as "Ignore".

I'd say it's definitely a bug and have reported it. Smile

I haven't looked at this recently but, if I remember correctly, Ignore All
is a real funny setting - it is set at application level, not document level
and affects all spelling checks in the current Word session. As it's not a
document setting, it may not get reset by document level commands (even
though it's originally set on an individual document).

Enjoy,
