Is there a way in which I can accept ALL of the Autocorrect suggestions in Word 2003, rather than clicking on each 'red squiggle? The document is about 75 pages long, and I have about 25 'suggestions' per page, most due to formatting errors when I deleted
extraneous paragraph marks. [Replacing 'Paragraph Mark' with 'Paragraph Mark Space' simply creates an extra space in other locations].
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Mike
For a procedure that removes extra paragraph marks correctly, see
http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/CleanWebText.htm.
The red squiggles are not from AutoCorrect, but from Check Spelling As You Type. There isn't any way in the regular user interface to accept all of them at once (and some of them might not have any suggestion for replacing the unrecognized text). You can use the following macro (read http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed), which will replace each item with the first suggestion if there is one:
Sub AcceptSpellingSuggestions()
Dim er As Range
For Each er In ActiveDocument.SpellingErrors
If er.GetSpellingSuggestions.Count > 0 Then
er.Text = er.GetSpellingSuggestions.Item(1).Name
End If
Next
End Sub
