We're using Office 2003 and having particular issues with from what I've been reading a very common problem.

The issue I'm having is I don't see a permanent solution, unless I missed it.

The problem is our users have Word docs they've created in the past and then paste text from another Word doc or other source. I understand Word looks at that text as unformatted (or formatted in another means, whatever the case may be) and therefore excludes it from the spell check.

I have read a quick fix of selecting all, then go to set the language and ensuring the "Do not check spelling or grammar" box is unchecked, then forcing the recheck....

That being said, I need to know if there is a permanent solution to this. It's incredibly annoying and takes much time to hassle with this type of scenario.

I noticed a reference on one site to modifying the normal template. Is that an option?

Thanks in advance,

C.
