I'm trying to spell check a document and I get the "text marked do not
check" message. I want to check everything. I do not want to skip any
text. How do I switch this off?

TIA

I have many RTF documents written in MS-Word2003. Embedded in the text
are tokens like <LASTNAME-5>. I use a bunch of Perl scripts and unix
commands to manipulate the documents and replace tokens with real data
from a text file.

The problem is that MS-Word internally splits my tokens like
<LASTNAME}{\b\insrsid13980615 -5}{.....>

In other words, I can't parse out my tokens. Is there a way to tell
MS-Word to only split on white space?

Thanks

Try pressing CTRL+A to select all your text and then click on the Tools
menu, select Language and then Set Language and click to remove the tick
from the 'Do not check spelling or grammar' box. If your spell check is
still not working fully click on Tools>Options and then click the Recheck
Document button under the Spelling & Grammar section of the Options window.
