A Word document I am working with will not allow me to run spell check, except on a few paragraphs.

When I try to check the rest of the document, I get a message telling me that "Text marked with 'Do not check spelling or grammar' was skipped."

Does anyone know how I can disable whatever setting is blocking me from running the spell checker on the whole document? I have tried numerous things and just cannot get it to work.

Some text has been skipped in a previous spellcheck, or . . .
To fix this, select all text (Ctrl-A), then click the language in the status bar at the bottom. Select the language + variant you want, then, at the bottom of that little window, UNCHECK the box that says "Do not check spelling or grammar"

Whole blocks of text can be excluded by deliberately selecting the block of text, then checking this box, or, while spellchecking, anytime you select "Skip" ... See more
Hi Amel,

Whole blocks of text can be excluded by deliberately selecting the block of text, then checking this box, or, while spellchecking, anytime you select "Skip" as an option, it will be passed over in any future spellcheck.
