Resetting the spell checker in Word

To run your spell checker in Word by either:

• From the Review tab choose the Spelling and Grammar command.
• Use the Keyboard shortcut F7

If you use Ignore Once or Ignore All, it will stop checking these "mistakes", however you may have inadvertently bypassed a misspelled word.

Next time you run the checker it will tell you that Spelling and Grammar check is complete, even if there is a misspelled word.

If you want to run spell check again correctly you need to bring up the Dialog box.

To do this;

• Write a purposely wrong word like speel and run your spell checker
  Once the Spelling and Grammar dialog box is open,
• Click the Options button
• Under the When Correcting spelling ... area
• click the Recheck Document button
• You will get the message: This Operation Resets The Spelling Checker And Grammar Checker So That Word Will Recheck Words And Grammar You Previously Checked And Chose To Ignore. Do You Want To Continue?
• Click Yes and then OK.
