Tip #3738 - Please Ignore Me

Please
Ignore Me
Have you ever accidentally
hit one of the Ignore buttons (especially the Ignore All button) when
spellchecking an MS Word document?
How maddening is that?
Now, Word isn't even
noting the problem and you've got to very carefully pick through the document
to check for the problem, with no assistance from Word whatsoever.
Or do you?
What if there was
a way to tell Word to recheck your document while ignoring your "Ignore"
commands?
Sounds like it could
be a time saver to me, so let's take a look!
What we need to do
is get into the Spelling & Grammar tab in Word's
Options window. (Tools menu, Options
choice).

At the bottom, you'll
see the Recheck Document button.
Click it.
Word will throw up
a warning, making sure you know what you're about to do.

Basically, all your
Ignore commands will be reversed and they will again appear as errors,
just as they did when you began the process.
Click Yes
to confirm your decision.
There you have it.
Getting Word to ignore your "Ignores" isn't so hard after all.
Who would have thought we'd ever be looking to do that?!
