Spell check problem in Word 2003

Dr. Indera

hello,

sometimes when i spell check a document, i get the following message:

text marked with "do not check spelling or grammar" was ignored. i mostly
see it when i create a table of contents document.

is there a way to disable this?

thank you.

From the Help Topic: "The spelling or grammar checker checked only part of
my document."

€ If some text is marked with the "Do not check spelling or grammar
format", Word skips it during a spelling and grammar check. For example,
Word automatically marks fields such as DATE and TIME with the Do not check
spelling or grammar format so the spelling and grammar checker won't
question them.

To locate such text or fields and remove the "Do not check spelling or
grammar" format:
1. On the Edit menu, click Replace.
2. In the Find what box, delete any text.
3. Click More in the lower left corner of the Find and Replace dialog box,
and then click Format.
4. Click Language, and then select the Do not check spelling or grammar
check box.
5. In the Replace with box, delete any text, and then click Format.
6. Click Language, and then clear the Do not check spelling or grammar check
box.
7. Click Find Next, and then click Replace or Replace All.

Word does not check the spelling and grammar of certain text, such as macros
and protected forms.

hi daiya,

thank you so much.

this is very strange. i know that i never selected any option to skip spell
checking.
this only happens in a template that i created a long time ago.

again, thank you for your help. i really appreciate it.
