Red, Wavy Underline Appears in Callout Box (135591)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q135591

SYMPTOMS

When Automatic Spell Checking is on and the first word in the first callout you inserted in your document is misspelled, a red, wavy underline appears in subsequent, empty callouts that you add to your document. (The red, wavy underline is used by Word's Automatic Spell Checking feature to identify misspelled words.) This behavior occurs in Word documents and when you compose notes using WordMail.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows 95 version 7.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

The red, wavy underline will disappear when you type a character or press the SPACEBAR when the insertion point is in the callout.
