enforce spell check on an edited conditional IF statement in word
hey,
i have a problem which i can't find a solution to on site-http://word.mvps.org/faqs/mailmerge/ or google. i have a conditional paragraph that is displayed based on an IF statement for each client. if the paragraph is displayed a staff member has to ring the client and types a summary of the chat within the IF statement. this all wor4ks fine howe3ver the issue is that the spell and grammar check is not enforced on the IF statement field/paragraph. is it possible to enable the spell and grammar check on conditional fields etc? we are currently using microsoft word 97. thanks james

Hi java-ftper,
Assuming the fieldis being converted to text as part of the mailmerge process, you could simply run the spell-check after the merge has been completed - doing it during the mailmerge isn't possible. To expedite/simplify the process, you could set all the text except for the field in question in the mailmerge main document to 'no proofing', so that the spell-check would only test the text the user has entered. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "java-ftper" wrote in message ... hey, i have a problem which i can't find a solution to on site-http://word.mvps.org/faqs/mailmerge/ or google. i have a conditional paragraph that is displayed based on an IF statement for each client. if the paragraph is displayed a staff member has to ring the client and types a summary of the chat within the IF statement. this all wor4ks fine howe3ver the issue is that the spell and grammar check is not enforced on the IF statement field/paragraph. is it possible to enable the spell and grammar check on conditional fields etc? we are currently using microsoft word 97. thanks james

thanks for your quick response macropod.
your comment about selecting no proofing was very useful and something I had not previously considered. I also found a very interesting article -http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm which I managed to adapt to my requirements. Definitely recommended reading for anyone with a similar issue. James
