Need to disable 'do not check spelling or grammar' in Microsoft Word
When opening a Word document from an attachment, the 'do not check spelling or grammar' option is automatically enabled, and keeps re-enabling itself after being unchecked. This is not the case if opening a Word document locally on the machine. Is there a way to permanently disable the 'do not check...' option across the board? I have tried editing the registry, running quick and full repair on Office, verifying correct proofing tools are selected, highlighting all text in the document and unchecking the option
Hi MVPromise
There's no way to permenantly disable this feature in Word.
You could go into File > Options > Proofing > Exceptions for and configure it for yourself for either the current doc or all new docs, but not an automatic blanket rule for docs sent by others.
Cheers & best wishes
