setting a fixed default to check spelling and grammar
Under Tools/language/set language I have unchecked "do not check spelling or
grammar" on my default Word template. I also have this default on a special report template. I often have to copy and paste other documents I receive from external sources into this special report template and before I do, I make sure I set these other documents to uncheck their "do not check..." The problem is that after I copy and paste into my special report template, the "do not check spelling or grammar" box gets mysteriously checked. I'm continually having to go and uncheck it so I can see the spelling and grammatical errors. Any help please? -- phil b australia |

Use edit paste special unformatted text (or the following macro) to
paste into your document.

setting a fixed default to check spelling and grammar
From a few minutes ago ... I just realised what you meant. I pasted
(special) the document unformatted as you said into my template having made sure that the language/spell checks were right. After I pasted I still had to uncheck so I could see the spelling/grammar -- phil b australia "Graham Mayor" wrote: Use edit paste special unformatted text (or the following macro) to paste into your document.

That is not normal behaviour. The proofing settings are associated with the
text. Pasting as unformatted should cause the pasted text to adopt the format at the destination. If that has the language parameter you require then so should the pasted text, regardless of how is was previously formatted. There may be some mechanism interfering with the required action. To attempt to verify this start Word in its safe mode by holding the CTRL key whilst starting and acknowledge the prompt which ensues. Does the paste work correctly in that mode?

Does it work if you add force the setting in the macro? eg
Sub PasteUnf() On Error GoTo oops With Selection .NoProofing = False .PasteSpecial _ DataType:=wdPasteText, _ Placement:=wdInLine End With Exit Sub oops: Beep End Sub If not I haven't a clue as I can't reproduce the problem -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org crossroads wrote: thanks Graham but pasting in Safe mode doesn't work either.

Hi Graham - I know absolutely zero about macros so looks like I'm stuck with
the original problem which I had thought naively that there's be an easy fix for.

You don't have to know anything about macros to use one - see
