Turning spell check, grammar correction, etc

[rw3399]

Hi all. I have an exam next week and I'm allowed to use my laptop provided
that I turn off all correction tools so I'm not cheating in their eyes. How
do I this? I find Word 2007 so much harder to operate than Word 2003. I've
found the Spelling & Grammar tab but when I click on it, it just says spell
check complete. I really need some help with this.
Many thanks
Rachel

In Office Button > Word Options > Proofing, turn off all the options
(in the lower group) referring to checking spelling and grammar.

In the Ribbon > Review tab, DON'T click the Spelling & Grammar Check
button, since that will go ahead and do the checking when you ask it
to.

Hi Peter

I went into the Office Button but I don't seem to have/can't find the Word
Options

It is the rectangle at the bottom labeled "Word Options" next to the
rectangle labeled "Exit Word."

knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if
he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never
be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor

Thanks for your help Greg and Peter

I feel stupid now because I was looking straight at it.

Don't feel stupid. You are not alone. I often can see a tree for the
forest ;-)
