Too many spelling errors
If I go to Tools|Options|Spelling and Grammar, and try to
uncheck "Hide spelling errors in this document" I get the error "There are too many spelling or grammatical errors to continue displaying them. To check the spelling and grammar of this document, choose Spelling and Grammar from the Tools menu." The problem is that I have a lot of computer programming source code in the document and the spell checker is verifying the spelling of words in the code. I think that's what has caused the spell checker to exceed its word limit. If I go to the Tools menu and choose Spelling and Grammar it does go through word by word and underline spelling errors but it examines all of the computer code too. This word-by-word correction takes a long time. Is there a way that I can increase the number of allowable spelling and grammar errors so that Word can highlight spelling errors as I create them? (I have Word 2002.) Thanks. Greg |

If your programming code is formatted in some paragraph style of its own (which might be a good idea for a number of independent reasons anyway), you could add this setting to the definition of the style.

I have noticed that my index entries are considered spelling errors, and
therefore I get the same "Too many spelling errors..." message too. Tmy index entries are hidden text (of course) of the format {XE "main entry:secondary entry" }. The fact that there is no space between the color character and either of the words is causing the spelling error, I guess. Do people put a space in their index entries in order to avoid this problem? I have a long document and seem to be coming up to some limits in Word (see my other post under "Spell checker is limmiting" (sic).

You might try telling Word that the source code isn't English. To do this, select a patch of source code and use Tools Language Set language No proofing Unfortunately, this characteristic of text isn't settable using the Format Painter. However, you can use the F4 function key to repeat the "Set language" command for scattered patches of source code in a document. Even better, you can have a "style" for source code that includes the "No proofing" characteristic. (I have Word 97.) |
