Disable Check spelling and grammar in Office 2019 for Education usage

Hello.

I'm working for French administration, for Education.

We need disable check spelling and grammar because computers can be used for exams for people who can't write with pen.

It's important that this fonction can't be enabled by user while exams are running.

Is there any way to do this ?

Thanks.

I know of no way to do this completely.

You could:

1: Make "no proofing" the setting for all styles in exam documents.

2: Have a keyboard shortcut that uses the F7 key.

3: Remove the Reviewing tab.

These steps would be sufficient for virtually all students. Someone expert at Word could probably get around them. Any competent Word programmer could do these.

You could also remove the French proofing language from the computers and set some other language as the default proofing language.

Obviously, you would need to not have Internet access.

You may need to also disable access to other programs that would have proofing.

Essentially, you would want the computers used for this to be single-purpose if possible.

Would it be possible to use WordPad instead of Word?

If you want, I can supply a macro that sets "no proofing" as the setting for all styles in a Word document.

Hi Florian,

See the article at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/off... - change the version # to 16. The command IDs are the same between versions.

The thread Diane links seems most productive. I do not know if the methods discussed completely turn off the squiggly red lines and grammar lines. I suspect that it does.

If it does not, you would want to also do the "no proofing" settings.

Be sure to follow through looking at Mike Morawski's page which is listed in that thread.

We choose Office 2019 because studiants use this in there formation, and in this software we can use speech synthesis for deaf and hard-of-hearing people.

I'm really interested in macro who can do this.

Are you talking about the macro to set the proofing to "no proofing?"

Do not respond to the message from "Kathy Davis47."

This is a support scam not connected to Microsoft in any way.
