stop it!

How can I prevent (Microsoft Office) Word 2007 from "correcting" (grrr!) my spelling?

Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar.
Clear the 'Check spelling as you type' box.
Click 'OK'.

...but I can't find me tools;-) ...! I'm searching for them "inside" Word, that's right, right? But don't see them there!

[Buenchico]

I'm using an earlier version of Word but, as far as I'm aware, the top menu bar is standard. i.e. File - Edit - View, etc. 'Tools' should be the 6th item across.

If that really doesn't work with Word 2007, click on 'Help' (assuming that you can find it!). Then select 'Microsoft Word Help' and enter the search term 'spell'.

Doesn't look like that at all Chris :-( I'd take a screenshot but I suspect my English is better than your Swedish, ha ha... I am however able to find "Show" - but no Tools under it. And no "Help". I didn't buy the programme, someone I know installed it on my computer, perhaps he excluded some bits for some reason unbeknownst to me... Thanks anyway.

Ha ha ha, that's priceless Chris, I wouldn't know what you were saying if I didn't already know what you're saying... if you see what I mean;-)

...but that did help me find my way around, and as a matter of fact I do remember having been there once before, to clear that box (check spelling as you type), I remember successfully having done so, I remember it helped, and yes the box is still cleared but I'm being corrected (as I type) anyway! Nobody will probably believe me... but it's a fact!
