Reproofing a Document You've Already Checked

If you proof a document a second time, Word doesn't recheck the spelling of words (or the syntax of sentences) you already proofed. If you want Word to catch previously caught errors, reopen the Spelling and Grammar Options dialog box (either choose Tools, Options and click the Spelling&Grammar tab or click the Options button inside the Spelling and Grammar dialog box) and click the Recheck Document button. Word asks you to confirm that you want to recheck text you've already proofed; choose Yes.
