Speeding up large documents

[Mike]

I have adocument with 6700 pages. When it opens, it ties down the computer
because it is trying to spell check everything and paginate. Can I turn these
things off with VBA Code in an Autpen sub? I have unchecked the spelling
and grammar boxes in options, but I still see the book and pencil icon on the
bottom indicating it is still checking the document. Using Version 2002 Sp-2
on XP Professional. Thanks.

Hi Mike,

I've been fighting spellchecking myself
quite recently without much success.

Maybe Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = False
might help, as I saw spellchecking taking action
even if I didn't type anything.

Hi Mike,

Make a second copy and give it a shot. You might also think about changing
your view options. Here's something that might help.

With ActiveDocument
.SpellingChecked = True
.ActiveWindow.View.Draft = True
End With
Options.Pagination = False

HTH,
