When you first start using Word after installing it, especially for typing in Vietnamese, you'll notice red underlines or green underlines in the text you've just entered. Is there a way to remove red underlines in Word? The answer is yes!
Deleting Underlines in Word
Reasons Behind Red Underlines in Word
This is actually a built-in feature of the MS Word 2019 application. When activated, this feature automatically detects and marks areas with spelling errors, and even detects grammatical mistakes. When using Word, if you type a misspelled word, the application will automatically flag it and display a red underline notification for the writer to notice and rectify the error.
Currently, Word spell check performs checks in English. In the case where you are typing in Vietnamese, even if you type correctly, Word may still interpret it as incorrect, and of course, display a red underline. However, if you type correctly in English, you won't see this red underline.
Therefore, if you primarily compose documents in Vietnamese and want to avoid seeing red underlines in Word every time you write, simply disabling this check feature will cause the red or green underlines to disappear automatically.
