I'm getting a green squiggly line under a certain word because Word thinks I should use a semicolon instead of a comma after this word. I don't want to use a semicolon in this situation and do not think it is grammaticaly necessary.



Word gives me the option of "ignoring once" but then it puts the green line back. I don't want to turn off the grammer check. Is there any way I can get rid of this annoying green line without changing the comma to a semicolon.

Hi! You can instruct Word to ignore the rule and see if that works. To do that, right-click on the word with the green squiggly line. Select "Grammar" from the pop-up menu. In the Grammar dialog box, click the "Ignore Rule" button, then close the dialog box.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

No problem. Please let me know if it works out for you.

It worked! Thank you!

Great! You're welcome.

It's working out great. Now if I can just get my Microsoft Outlook to go back on to automatic send/receive mode.

That's awesome.

Sorry, I just read your note re: setting Outlook to automatic send/receive mode. I'm not sure what version you have, but I'm using Outlook 2002. I think the options may be similar to Outlook 2003, but I'm not for sure.

To set Outlook to automatically send/receive, select "Tools" and "Options" from the menu. Click the "Mail Setup" tab in the Options dialog box. Check "Send immediately when connected" under "Send/Receive."

You can further double-check that the options are setup correctly in the dialog box by clicking the "Send/Receive" button. This opens the "Send/Receive Groups" dialog box. Click the "Edit" button to view your options. Your account should be selected on the left under "Accounts." Both "Send mail items" and "Receive mail items" should be checked.

Click "OK" to close the dialog boxes. This should hopefully do the trick.

Thanks very much!

You're very welcome.
