There are times when I will have a block of text that I am typing in Visual Studio that will be displayed to the user as a message or will be part of the UI (User Interface).

After completing the typing I will look at it and know that some of the words are misspelled. I will copy the block into Word but the spell checker will not highlight the typos. Even if you take the time to find the button in the menu that spell checks the entire document, the misspelled words will still not underline.

One method is to first copy the text from Visual Studio into Notepad and then from Notepad into Word.

The other method is during the paste operation from VS to Word, look for the paste option icon to appear (Word 2007).

Click the icon and select "Match Destination Formatting". The formatting changes and the spell checker starts to work on the pasted text.
