Disable suggested corrections in spelling

[poliv]

I wonder how to disable the suggested corrections in spelling (when I click the right mouse button on a misspelled word), but keeping the emphasis of the error.

What program? What version? What have you checked/tried?

Microsoft office 2007 (more specific WORD 2007).

Not much time on my end to look into this right now..

Have you tried searching? I found this so far:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/v...ng-and-grammar-checking-work-HP010119467.aspx

Basically, you should be able to find the options (if they exist to fix it the way you want) under the Office Button - Word Options..

I read the article you suggest but don't see nothing that can help in my case.

Thanks for your interest, I will continue to search...

Try Tools > Options and select the [Spelling and Grammer] tab. Probably an option there. (I have Word 2003 so I can't be more exact.)

Word's own Help might also tell you, though it is often opaque or tells you a vast amount about things you don't need to know.

I don't think you can do this - suggestions are integral to the spellcheck process.


Enjoy,

I know it's not ideal, but you can disable the auto-spell-check, and then only use the manual spell check, last I checked.

You would think that turning the suggestions off would be an option, but maybe not.

I'd be curious to see whether it can be done via VBA, but it's probably more complicated than worth doing if it is possible.
