So, all in all, these red-green wavy underlines indicate spelling and grammar mistakes. This feature is very helpful and millions of users have become used to with it. Or may be I should say that they have become dependent on this feature for writing correct language! At times, we find ourselves in a need of getting rid of all those red and green wavy underlines. This can happen, for example, when you are working with a non-English, let’s say Hindi, document and while using English language spelling checker. Such a document will get flooded with error indicating underlines because of mismatch between document language and the spell checker language. ALSO READ: Time Saving MS Word Tips You can always take a right click on a word (or a phrase) and select “Ignore” or “Ignore All” from popup menu to do away with the underline. But if such errors are too many and you need to hide those irritating underlines in one go —then you can use the following method:
Open the document Go to File > Options A box will appear. Select “Proofing” from the options given In the “Exceptions for” section, select the document in which you don’t want to see spell mistakes Check either or both of the following check boxes as per your need: Hide spelling errors in this document only Hide grammar errors in this document only Click OK
Open the document Go to Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar Select “Proofing“ Check the boxes for “Hide spelling errors in this document” and/or “Hide grammar errors in this document“
This method is useful because it hides spelling / grammar errors only in a particular document. It does not completely switch off the spell checker. Spell checker will duly show errors in all other existing and new documents that you’ll create. I am hoping that in future versions of MS-Office, Microsoft will provide a single click option to do away with all the spelling and grammar error indications. I hope this was useful for you. Please do let me know if you have another question. In MS Word 2008, you should go to Word Options > Proofing. There you will get two checkboxes to hide the spelling and grammar errors. These options simply hide the red and green wavy underlines AND does not turn off the spelling and grammar check. Checking goes on but the results are not shown to the user.
