How Do You Disable Automatic Spell-Checker In Word 2003?
The automatic spell-checker can be distracting while you are typing a document, especially if you purposely include nonstandard spellings. You can disable this feature and still run spell-checker after you have finished writing. Here’s how. Open a document in Word 2003 that has the automatic spell-checker enabled. Pull down the “Tools” menu and scroll down to the bottom. Click on “Options.” This pulls up a window with a number of control tabs. Click on the “Spelling and Grammar” tab to open the controls. At the top of the “Spelling” list, uncheck the box next to “Check spelling as you type.” Click the “OK” button to apply the changes to your document.
