    There are several ways.

    If you just don't want to be annoyed by them, do this:

    1. Press CTRL/A to select the entire document.

    2. Click the Review tab on the Ribbon.

    3. In the Proofing section, click Set Language.

    4. Check Do Not Check Spelling Or Grammar.

    5. If you want to make this the default for all new documents, click the Default button.

    6. Click Yes in the message box.

    7. Click OK.

    But if you're sending that document to other people, be aware that their spell checking options may still show them your mistakes. To fix that, do this:

    1. Click the Office button in the upper-left corner.

    2. Click the Word Options button.

    3. Click the Proofing tab.

    4. Check the Hide Spelling Errors In This Document checkbox.

    5. Check the Hide Grammar Errors In This Document checkbox.

    6. Click OK.

    Of course, they may still see your mistakes even without Word's help.

    Hope that helps.

    Go to the “Review” tab in the ribbon, and click on “set language” under Proofing and then click on “Do not check spelling or grammar”.

    If you are getting the red lines because you are writing in a language other than English, you can just choose another language without turning the spell check off, MS Office will start checking for words in that language.

    Go to Tools->Options. Here chose the tab labeled Spelling and Grammar. Here you can enable/disable spelling as well as grammar checking by MS Word.

    whilst we style interior the MS observe, its in-built dictionary searches for the interest which you have entered. no count number if that is not present in dictionary then there's a purple line below that observe. It skill that the entered observe could be incorrect. each now and then we write some specific names of area, person etc which will possibly no longer present interior the dictionary which reasons purple line below that observe. If we don't prefer that purple line then we are able to upload that observe in dictionary and the purple line will disappear. you are able to upload that observe in dictionary via doing the incredible click on that observe and selecting the alternative "upload to dictionary". So the added incidence of the comparable observe basically isn't underlined via purple coloration.
