How to turn on the automatic spell check in Word. Disable highlighting spelling and grammatical errors. How do I get word 2010 to re check the spelling in a document? Ryan March 10, 2011, 12:05 am.
If you want to turn off spell checking in Word, there are two ways you can do it. Most people who want to turn it off do so because their specific documents may have many spelling errors which are not really spelling errors—you know, caused by jargon or abbreviations or highly specialized words.
If you want to globally turn off spell checking for your documents, you can do so by following these steps:. Choose Options from the Tools menu. Word displays the Options dialog box.
Make sure the Spelling tab or the Spelling & Grammar tab is selected. (See Figure 1.) Figure 1. The Spelling & Grammar tab of the Options dialog box. Make sure the Automatic Spell Checking check box or the Check Spelling As You Type check box is cleared. Click on OK. Now, in order to check the spelling of your document you will need to explicitly command Word to initiate the process.
(The easiest way to do this, of course, is to press F7.) If you want to turn off spell checking for a specific paragraph, you can do so by making sure there is no language associated with the paragraph. You do this by following these steps if you are using Word 97:. Select the paragraph for which you want spell checking turned off.
Choose Language from the Tools menu. Word displays the Language dialog box. In the language list at the left of the dialog box, select the (no proofing) language. (It is the first one on the list, at the top.). Click on OK. If you are using Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003, the steps to follow are slightly different:.
Select the paragraph for which you want spell checking turned off. Select Language from the Tools menu, then choose Set Language. Word displays the Language dialog box. (See Figure 2.) Figure 2. The Language dialog box. Make sure the Do Not Check Spelling or Grammar check box is selected.
Click on OK. At this point Word will not check the spelling or grammar of the paragraph. It will, however, check any other paragraph in your document for which proofing is not turned off. If you find yourself changing the language setting for many paragraphs in your document, you may be best to use styles to define a specific style that has proofing turned off.
You can then apply that style wherever necessary in your document.
Spelling Checker for Visual Studio Code A basic spell checker that works well with camelCase code. The goal of this spell checker is to help with catching common spelling errors while keeping the number of false positives low. Functionality Load a TypeScript, JavaScript, Text, etc. Words not in the dictionary files will have a squiggly underline.
Example Suggestions To see the list of suggestions: After positioning the cursor in the word, any of the following should display the list of suggestions:. Click on the ? (lightbulb) in the left had margin. Editor action command:.

The spellchecker uses a local word dictionary. It does not send anything outside your machine.
The words in the dictionary can and do contain errors. There are missing words. Only words longer than 3 characters are checked. 'jsj' is ok, while 'jsja' is not. All symbols and punctuation are ignored.
In Document Settings It is possible to add spell check settings into your source code. This is to help with file specific issues that may not be applicable to the entire project. All settings are prefixed with cSpell: or spell-checker. disable - turn off the spell checker for a section of code. enable - turn the spell checker back on after it has been turned off. ignore - specify a list of words to be ignored. words - specify a list of words to be considered correct and will appear in the suggestions list.
ignoreRegExp - Any text matching the regular expression will NOT be checked for spelling. includeRegExp - Only text matching the collection of includeRegExp will be checked.
enableCompoundWords / disableCompoundWords - Allow / disallow words like: 'stringlength'. Enable / Disable checking sections of code It is possible to disable / enable the spell checker by adding comments to your code. Disable Checking. /. cSpell:disable./. /.

Remove any text matching excludeRegExp. Check the remaining text. Exclude Example. # cSpell:includeRegExp #.
# cSpell:includeRegExp (' ')^ 1. 1 # only comments and block strings will be checked for spelling. Def sumit( self, seq): 'This is checked for spelling ' variabele = 0 alinea = 'this is not checked ' for num in seq: # The local state of 'value' will be retained between iterations variabele += num yield variabele Predefined RegExp expressions Exclude patterns.
