MS Word Issue

Whenever I open a Word doc I get blue underlining all the way through it which seems to be some sort of set rule as if I right click on any part of doc that is underlined I get an option to remove rule.

I've attached a screenshot of what I see each time I open a Word doc.

Does anyone know what this 'rule' is but more importantly how to remove it?

I done a repair of Office but it didn't solve the issue :(

What version of Word are you using? Looks like either 2002 or 2003.
Are you using Word as your Outlook email composer/editer?

Are you opening these "work" docs that are originally created/updated in one version of Word and then you open them at home in another version? It could be something like a Grammer error if spaces or line breaks are not being read correctly between versions perhaps. Or maybe Contextual Spelling checking from Word 2007.

Congratulations!!

Thanks :)

What version are they composed/edited with at work? 2007?

Most machines are running Office 2002 but there are a couple running Office 2007 so that could be the key. I'll check it out tomorrow :thumb:

Sounds like a big possibility as 2007 has the blue squiggly underlining for Contextual Spelling I believe as the green is still grammer and red spelling mistake.

Save a separate test version of the document with the contextual spelling check turned off before the save. (Office Button > Proofing > Use Contextual Spelling)

I took a 2007 document with your verbiage typed in it and saved as a 97-2003 file format, copied it over to my other system running Word 2003 and opened it and it opened fine :(

Maybe its an issue with 2002 Word only or maybe you are needing an Office Update or SP. Worth a try.
