I know you already received directions for correcting the "no proofing"
style when you find it.
I just want to add that you can search for the "no proofing" attribute.
This will allow you to make sure all of your styles that are set to "no
proofing" are corrected -- not just where you see the typos.
In the "Find" dialog box, click on the "Format" button, then select
"Language." Click on "No proofing" and press OK. Then click on "Find Next."
Any paragraphs that you find, fix the style.
Best,
Gen
