Turn Off Automatic Spelling & Grammar

You can also choose not to have Word do an automatic spelling and grammar checking of your document. Meaning, you're turning off the red and green wiggly lines.

To turn off the automatic Spelling & Grammar checking, follow these steps:

1. Choose the Office button ► Word Options.
   
Microsoft Word 2007: Word Options button
   
2. From the left side list, click on Proofing.
 
Microsoft Word 2007: Word Options dialog box
   
3. Click to remove the check marks from Check Spelling as You Type or Mark Grammar Errors as You Type options.
   
4. Click OK once you're done.
   
  You'll notice that the red and green wiggly lines are now removed from your text. Just remember, that Word doesn't know when you want to spell check a document or not, you have to tell him that!
