How to stop highlighting misspelled words?

I have Word for Mac 2011. How do I stop it from underlining mispelled words? I want to do spell check only when I want.

I am sorry but have you actually looked in the Word preferences?
It's Right THERE under Spelling & Grammer, TOP listing. Check Spelling As YOU TYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want to change it for all document you'll need to open Normal.dot and make the change there and save it as Normal.dot

  • When composing an email, how do I highlight a word in yellow (NOT change the font color, just highlight)?

    On Windows when composing an email,  I would often highlight a word or sentence in yellow. I don't seem to have this option on my Mac Book Air toolbar as I did when I had on my laptop. How can I add this feature to my toolbar? I don't want to change the font color, just want to highlight a word within the email.
    Thank you,

    You may or may not be able to do this based on which e-mail client or webmail platform you're using.  In your email options, you'll want to have the option to paste it as rich-text or HTML.  If you only have the option for plain text then you're out of luck.

  • How to automatically highlight / bold words in a JTable cell?

    how do i do it?
    i have an Object called Data (where toString() is the same as getDataName()).
    and i want the JTable to either highlight or bold specific words (using the bold HTML tags) that are present in a SortedSet.
    i do not want the dataName to be changed by directly manipulating the Object because the Data Objects were taken from the DB and i need the Objects and the records to be synchronised, and because the words in the SortedSet itself are subject to changes (add/edit/remove).
    thanks.

    Edit: removed

  • How can I highlight multiple words in Pages?

    I would like to highlight multiple words in my Pages document so as to make changes to them all at once instead of each separately.  My mac came with this new pages so I cannot just go back to Pages '09.
    Thanks.

    Why not?
    Didn't you migrate from your old Mac to the new? In which case Pages '08/'09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Don't you have the original installers for Pages '09?
    Pages 5 is mostly useless and unproductive. This is only one of the over 110 missing features.

  • How to highlight specific words in the Reader

    Hi!
    I am new to the Acrobat SDK and could need some guidance on how to solve the following problem:
    I need a plug-in that is able to highlight specific words in a pdf file (e.g. by underlining it or changing the background color) and offers a context menu with futher actions when the user clicks on a highlighted word. The first step would be searching the text to find the word that should be marked. I think that should not be that hard but how can I highlight specific words? I first thought of annotations but I need it in the Reader and I should not change the pdf file itself (just the view of it).
    The idea is similar to the skype plug-in for Firefox or IE. The skype plug-in highlights phone numbers. We need to highlight specific words.
    Thanks for every hint on how to achieve this!
    Fabian

    >The documentation says that AVPageViewHilightText is supposed to use >the current color set with AVPageViewSetColor - so it should work. >What version of Acrobat are you working with?
    Yes that how understood the documentation too. I tried the following:
    //Define red
    red.space = PDDeviceRGB;
    red.value[0] = ASInt32ToFixed(1);
    red.value[1] = 0;
    red.value[2] = 0;
    // highlight
    AVPageViewSetColor(pageView, &red);
    PDTextSelect pdTextSelect = PDDocCreateTextSelect(pdDoc, pageNum, &bbox);
    AVPageViewHighlightText(pageView, pdTextSelect);
    I am using Acrobat 7.0.9.
    >Drawing an image would be done with AVPageViewDrawCosObj
    >- which means you'll need to bring the image in as a PDF
    > object and then render it.
    Oh I should have seen that. Thanks for the hint!!
    >Interesting, there should be a way to get transparency,
    > but I am not seeing it at the moment.
    As far as I understood it, it is possible to set the color to transparent but thats not what I am looking for. I would like to have a way of changing the alpha channel of the color.
    Thanks!

  • I just downloaded Pages. When typing on a blank document, I am unable to highlight certain words.  My daughter usesbitbfor homework and needs to highlight her spelling words.  I've read disucssions and it says gonto the a and enter fill and cg

    I just started using Pages and am trying to figure out how I can highlight certain words in sentences.  I have read some of the discussions and they have said to go to the "a" on the top bar.  When using a blank document, the letter "a" doesn't show up and there isn't an option to fill in or use shadowing.  Help!

    At the top of the screen in Page there is an "I" next to the Media Icon. If you tap that "I" icon - you bring up a menu that has Style as one of the options. Tap Style and you can change the color of the text and use all of the preinstalled Styles available in the app.
    If you swipe all the way to the bottom of the Styles menu- there is a Text Options listed. Tap on that and you can select different sizes, fonts, and text colors.

  • How do i right click when a red line appears under a misspelled word?

    i need help. im new to pages, and when i misspell a word a red line shows up underneath just like in micrsoft word, but the problem is i dont know how to correct it. how do i right click to view the correct spelling?

    Double-click to highlight the word & then right-click just as you would anywhere elese. Suggestions will be at the top of the list. Many times there are no suggestions.
    Of course, make sure secondary click is turned on in the mouse preferences in System Preferences.

  • Can't figure out how to stop my MBP from opening programs at startup, namely word and messages

    Recenty my MBPro has started opening MS Word and Messages at startup and I can't figure out how to stop it?  I've tried selecting and de-selcting the startup option from the dock but this doesn't help.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    System Preferences has a setting for this.
    In the Users & Groups section you will fine a "Login Items" header.  This is a list of all the programs that will open automatically when you log in.  You can select any program and click the [--] button below that window to stop the program from opening automatically.

    how do i make the word save as dialog box stop popping up when trying to convert to pdf?

    Hi rus-tee,
    That's interesting--what are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Word? Or are you using the Adobe PDF Pack online service. Please describe your process for converting to PDF, and we'll get to the bottom of this!
    Best,

    A couple of things, first you don't have a virus. There are none for OS X so that eliminates a virus. It's even possible the virus scanning software you're using is the problem. Which one are you using?
    Next I'd try a SMC and PRAM reset, see if that helps out.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

    If I wanted to highlight the first and third line to center at the same time, how exactly would I do that?

    Hi Jeremiah,
    Can't be done. AppleWorks doesn't support non-contiguous selection.
    For your particular example, you can center lines one and three by this procedure:
    Place the insertion point in line 1.
    Press command-\
    Place the insertion point in line 3.
    Press command-\
