How do you print correction marks in Word
I'm trying to keep the correction marks when printing in Microsoft Word.
Currently I can see them when writing my document, but I want to preserve them when I print out the document. Currently, the only way I see to do this is to screen shot the page, but I'd rather not do that since it's a lot of extra steps. |

How do you print correction marks in Word
What do you mean by "correction marks"? Do you mean the Track Changes
stuff? In your Print dialog, under "Print What?", choose "Document with Markup."

In your Print Dialog box, there's a "Print What" drop-down box.
Select "Document Showing Markup". "Sean" wrote: I'm trying to keep the correction marks when printing in Microsoft Word.

How do you print correction marks in Word
If you have markup displayed, the default is to print it. You can switch to
Print Preview to see what will print, but unless you either switch from Final Showing Markup to Final view in Word or select Document instead of Document Showing Markup in the Print dialog, you will get the markup. -- Suzanne S.

How do you print correction marks in Word
Hello again,
I didn't mean the user submitted commentaries, like editor marks. I meant the ones that Microsoft Word automatically makes when a word is spelled wrong or there is a sentence fragment. I want to preserve the red and green squiggly lines you get when Word detects something is wrong when printing. |

How do you print correction marks in Word
There is no built-in provision in Word to print those lines. You could use a
macro to format the spelling and grammar errors with real wavy underlines (best to do this to a copy of the document, not the original). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Here's a macro to do the job. See
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed. Sub PrintableErrors() Dim srcDoc As Document Dim spErr As Range Dim grErr As Range If Len(ActiveDocument.Path) = 0 Then MsgBox "Save the document first!" Exit Sub End If ' make a copy of active document Set srcDoc = Documents.Add( _ Template:=ActiveDocument.FullName, _ NewTemplate:=False, _ DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument) ' format the grammar errors ' with green wavy underlines For Each grErr In srcDoc.GrammaticalErrors With grErr.Font .Underline = wdUnderlineWavy .UnderlineColor = wdColorGreen End With Next ' format the spelling errors ' with red wavy underlines For Each spErr In srcDoc.SpellingErrors With spErr.Font .Underline = wdUnderlineWavy .UnderlineColor = wdColorRed End With Next ' turn off the nonprinting underlines srcDoc.ShowSpellingErrors = False srcDoc.ShowGrammaticalErrors = False End Sub On Wed, 2 Jun 2010 16:33:35 -0400, "Jay Freedman" wrote: There is no built-in provision in Word to print those lines.
