Word - Options - Proofing - need different options saved for different types of material
Hello mimiproof ,
if you set a template for each proofing field, you need to open the text in exactly that template. Which you can't do, because the text is already in a document based on Normal.dot, right?
Open a new document based on your particular template (say legal transcript) and then paste the legal text into that template. Knowing legal documents and their notoriously difficult automated numbering, I can see a number of issues raising from that too.
Or, you can invest time and separately record a macro for each separate set of proofing conditions, so that when you open your text, you just run a particular macro to set-up the correct environment.
On second thought, I think the macro might be the preferable option.

Thanks for your response. I did try the template approach. It doesn't work. The settings stuck and were the same when I reopened Word with the default template. It appears that macros are the only way to go.
