How do I programatically turn off the wavy red lines in a Microsoft Word document via VBA?

Question

Is there anyway to disable spell checking on a per document basis via VBA for MS Word?

Answer 1

You can mark the current document as already spell-checked

ActiveDocument.SpellingChecked = True

or you can disable spell checking for a range of text:

ActiveDocument.Range.NoProofing = True

You can also simply disable the display of the red squiggles:

ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = False

Answer 2

ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = False
