Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel How can I turn off the option which adds red and green underlines to questionable spelling and grammar?

In the Spelling & Grammar Preferences. Go to Word> Preferences & clear the
checks for 'Check spelling as you type' & 'Check grammar as you type'.
Just for future reference you might try having a go at any program's Help
before taking the time to search elsewhere for info about its features & how
to use them. Granted, Office 2008 Help in general is significantly less than
it should be, but this particular topic is fully covered:
Turn off automatic spelling checking

Then make sure you didn't fall into Apple's little trap 
When you open
the Help menu be sure to select Word Help rather than typing into the Search
box -- It searches Mac Help.
