ugly blue zigzag under my text?

[Susan Moore]

I have tried to turn off styles every way I can find. There is still an ugly
blue zigzag under my text in Word. How do I get rid of that? It is making
the text hard to read and proof. I am an expert typist and word processor
and find these tools to be a nuisance.

See the Help topics "What do the underlines in my document mean?" and "Show
or hide wavy underlines." This one might be addressed by clearing the check
for "Mark formatting inconsistencies" on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.
