Hello,
I have a user who's document is not catching all the mispelled words. I
copied some of the words to a new document and ran the spell checker -
received this message:
"The spelling and grammar check is complete. Text marked with "Do not check
spelling or grammar" was skipped."
This is the first time I've seen this message. Can someone tell me how this
option got applied, and how it can be turned off (if it can)?

Additional info: the document is a form. The text was copied and pasted into
a text box on the form. When I tried to check the form (before entering any
text in the text boxes), I received the same message.

"Do not check spelling..." is a language formatting attribute. This kind of
thing often happens when text is pasted from another document or from an
internet browser. Select the text, and choose Tools - Language - Set
Language. Remove the check next to "Do not check spelling or grammar". (You
can also get to this dialog by double-clicking the language indicator in
Word's status bar).
To get this dialog in Word 2007, if you see the language indicator in the
status bar, click it. If the language indicator isn't displayed, right-click
the status bar, and click Language. The language indicator should now show
up.

Hi Herb,
Thank you so much for replying to my post. I am using Word 2007, I have
"Language" selected in my status bar options, but there is no icon appearing
on the status bar. When i turn it off, nothing changes on the status bar,
when I turn the option on, nothing appears on the status bar. Any suggestions
on that one? I'm anxious to test your solution to my problem.
Thanks, again!!

With Language selected in the list of Status Bar tools, your language should
appear on the status bar. Here, the language tool says "English (United
States)". Do you not have that? If not, then perhaps there are too many
status bar option selected to display the language tool. Try right-clicking
the status bar and turning off some options you're less likely to need to
see if your language appears.

Thank you so much, Herb. I have turned off all other status bar options, and
there is no Language icon displaying on my status bar, even though it is
selected in the list of Status Bar Options. Is there any other way to get to
the language indicator options in Word 2007? Thanks!

Hi Herb,
Based on your guidance, I got into Help and found there is a "Set Language"
button on the Ribbon. This gave me the option you mentioned below - the "do
not check spelling and grammar" option. After selecting the text, clicking
the "Set Language" button, and unchecking the "Do not check..." button, all
the incorrectly spelled words were recognized.
Thanks so much for the help - it was exactly what i needed!
Have a great week!

I'm glad you ultimately found it in the Review tab, but I'm at a loss as to
why you're not seeing it in the status bar at the bottom of the Word window.
The only reason it doesn't show up is when too many status bar options are
selected (well... registry corruption can make it not show up, too). As a
test, you might try turning off ALL of the status bar options except for
Language, and see if it shows up then. Note that it's not an icon, and it's
not the word "language". If you're in the U.S., it will display as English
(United States). And, while it looks like it's just there to tell you the
current language, it's actually clickable--clicking on it displays the
Language dialog box, which is exactly what the Set Language tool in the
Review tab does.
