 * Reversing a Spell Checker **

Made a mistake with your spell checker? Wish you could just start the spell check over and get Word to ignore your Ignore All command?

Word comes with the ability to recheck the document and clear the Ignore All list so that you can get the mistake corrected the second time through.

To recheck the document and reset the Ignore All list, you first need to **start the spell check command**. You can get there via the **Tools** menu, **Spelling and Grammar** choice or the **Review** ribbon, **Spelling and Grammar** button. And as always, the **F7** key works too. At this point, you're looking for the **Options** button.

In older Office versions, in the Spelling and Grammar Options window, you are looking for the **Proofing Tools section**, **Recheck Document** button. (This button may be labelled as **Check Document** if you have not previously run a spell check).

In Office 2007, the Options button will take you to the program's Options window. Once there, you're still looking for the **Recheck Document button**.



Word will warn you that you are about to restart the spell check, disregarding your previous Ignore choices. You need to click **Yes** to confirm your decision. You will be sent back to the Spelling and Grammar Options page where you will need to click **OK**. Finally, you will be taken back to the spell check process where you will get a second chance to choose to ignore or not to ignore.
