Switching off lines under words?

Question

using word 2003 I want to switch off those wavy lines that appear under the words but do not know where the switch is. Thank you.

Answer 1

Disable the spelll checkking and grammar checkering.

Actually, you might want to take notice of those wavvy lines as they are there to help you.

Answer 2

NOVICE, you've got the spell checker on (the lines are red) and/or the grammar checker on (green, IIRC).

To turn them off, goto Tools-->Options-->Spelling and Grammar and uncheck the one that says to check spelling or grammar as you type.

Answer 3

Why, why would you want to turn it off? Yes, sometimes it is incorrect but it is a useful device.

:(

Answer 4

highlight the word then right click on it and press ignore.

Answer 5

the lines represent language or grammar correction. to switch them off you need to turn off language/grammar correction from options.

go to tools->options->spelling&grammar (tab)

uncheck 'check spelling as yout type' and 'check grammar as you type'
