I have a 70 page text in Word 3 and just wanted to correct spaces, but when I finished I realized I can't go back later and do corrections on words, spelling etc.



Is there a way to correct all the other errors as it seems my space correction has ended any other corrections?

Which spaces are you referring to? Space characters? Line spacing?

Which "corrections" are you doing which prevents later corrections? Please elaborate.

I don't understand what it is you have done and what you are having problems with. Are you talking about spelling and grammar checking?

I assume that you are talking about Word 2003 (Word 11). Word 3 was issued in the early 1990s and I don't know of anyone still using it.

Sorry about that, it's Spelling and grammar. I had to rush a fast proof and only had time to do the spacing corrections between/after/before words and left the rest of the spelling and grammar for tomorrow (at this stage they're not necessary). I just "ignored" all the other errors (spelling, etc) but upon finishing, Word 3 has decided I can't go back and check all of the other grammar and spelling.

Re: Word 3 - Congratulations, you've just met someone who still uses Word 3 in both XP laptop and Win 7 laptop. It still works fine.

Unless there's a bypass or other solution, I'll just have to go back and start again.

If you are saying that you clicked Ignore All in the Spelling & Grammar dialog box, do the following to have Word re-check the spelling: At Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar, click the Recheck button.
