The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,
   2.0c, 6.0, 6.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Word for Windows will not proof text that has been modified using
Revision Marks in Word for Windows. The proofing tools will check new
text that has been added to the document and does not check modified
text even if you turn off Revision Marks.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you type the word "spel" in a document, turn Revision Marks on,
select the word and press the DEL key, a line will appear through the
word indicating that the word is to be deleted from the document.
Therefore, to Word, the text does not exist. If you try to proof the
misspelled word, the proofing tools will not proof the text for
errors.

This is a function of both Revision Marks and the proofing tools in
Word for Windows.
