    Change the wrong spelling and grammar underline in Word

    I want to change the underline of wrong spelling and grammar check in word. By default when you make any wrong spelling it is underline as red and when there is a bit grammar issue in the sentence it is underlined as green. I want to change that to something else. Something of my choice. And if possible then there must be some way to change the color of entire text. Like if a spelling is wrong then the color of text must be turned to red automatically. And the same thing must be applicable for spelling also.

    You cannot do that. This are the template settings. You have to modify the word template for the same. And there are options available for that. But it is quiet not recommended to modify the same because if the settings are not properly saved then your word might crash. So you must not make changes in the same. The default options also a lot more effective. When you have any spelling errors you get those thing listed on the page and you can correct it. Or you can use the spell and grammar check box.

    Hi,

    To change the color of the wavy underline that specify Spelling errors, follow these steps:
    • Click on start, type run.
    • In Run dialog box, type regedit and click on OK button.
    • Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools
    • While the ‘Spelling wavy underline color’entry already exist, then jump to step 7.
    • If it doesn’t exist, then go to step5.
    • On edit menu, point to New & click Dword value
    • After Right pane, Double click on ‘SpellingWavyUnderlineColor’
    • In Edit Dword value dialog box , click on Hexadecimal
    • In the value data box, type- color code which is given in the hexadecimal form that you want to use >> OK.
    • Repeat step four to 9 to change underline color for other proofing tools
      Use registry entries that matches with the underlying color of proofing tool that you want to change rather of the SpellingWavyUnderlinecolor registry entry, as follows:

    To change wavy underline color that indicates spelling and grammar mistakes, use “ GrammarWavyUnderlineColor” registry entry.
    Exit Registry editor& swiftly restart your PC.

    I am quiet sure that it is not hard to the same. It is good if you can simply stick with the default settings. There are option to do that but that would need coding type of stuff. That can be done through macros or through vb. But there is no surety that it is going to work. It is best if you can simply go ahead using the default values. There are few advance text editor other than windows that can give you the kind of output you are looking. I am quiet sure that would be a bit more beneficial.
