I've had that happen before and I don't remember what I did except perhaps
copy part of the file to another word document, spell check it and then
rejoin the parts and complete the spell check. Now, however, what I do
because I don't want to have to go through whole file and look for the
pages in the book to check the error, is to highlight one or several pages
and spellcheck them; by the time I've finished proofing and run a
spellcheck on the whole document all errors have been corrected

you've highlighted. smile

Hi Sister Dolores,
Sometimes Word decides that a book that's perfectly fine has too many
spelling errors. It's usually due to having either many foreign words, or
lots of made-up words.
You can often clear the warning message by saving the file, closing it,
then closing Word, then starting Word again and continuing up where you
left off.
There is also a way to clear the option that Word sets when it does that
as well, but it's trickier. I'm using Word 2010 and here's how to do it in
that version of Word:
1. Open the file you want to edit.
2. Select "file" from the top toolbar
3. Select "options" from the menu that now appears.
4. Select "proofing" from the new menu that now appears.
5. You will now have a ton of options to tab through. Find and uncheck the
box that says "Hide spelling errors in this document only"
6. Select "ok"
7. You should now be back in your document, and the spelling check should
be working again for the document.

I wonder if anyone casn help with this. I am proofreading a book and the
computer is telling me that there are too many errors to spellcheck. But
this is really not the case. The scanner did good work. As I am almost
finished working on this, I hesitate to try sending it uup. Any help would
be appreciated.
