Now that you mention it I recall that as well. So it sounds like the
"Recheck Document" command in Word Options/Proofing will clear the Ignore
All flag but "ToolsSpellingRecheckDocument' or "Spelling Recheck Document"
(QAT) command doesn't.

Nope. To see if this is the case I recorded a couple of macros to see if the
recorded code is different for the commands and it's the same. "Recheck
Document" in Word Options and "Spelling Recheck Document" both produce the
following:

Application.ResetIgnoreAll
ActiveDocument.SpellingChecked = False
ActiveDocument.GrammarChecked = False

So "ToolsSpellingRecheckDocument" and "Spelling Recheck Document" do clear
the Ignore All flag it's just not working correctly. I suspect it may have
something to do with SDI.

It seems the behaviour has changed from 2003 to 2007. Word 2007 seems to
treat Ignore All as a document level setting.

However, as your recorded code shows, ResetIgnoreAll is an Application level
(re)setting. My (limited) testing suggests it doesn't work - and maybe never
has.

It also appears (again from limited testing) as though, in 2003, the
ToolsSpellingRecheckDocument document command did not reset the Ignore All,
while the Recheck Spelling button did reset it, but only for the active
document.

There does seem to be a bug or two in there somewhere!

Yes, go to the Word symbol (top left). When it opens look for Word Options on
the bottom line. When you click it, it opens various
options. It took me a while to find. Failte Seamus

I'm not sure if you are asking the same question but this has been found to
be a bug and it has been reported. The "Spell Recheck" button on the QAT
doesn't reset those words that have been flagged using "Ignore All" but will
reset those that been flagged using "Ignore". The only workaround at this
time is the use "Recheck Document" command found in the Proofing section of
Word Options.
