All the solutions I've read &nbsp;seem to point to making the squiggly lines disappear. You can either 'ignore' their existence, or case by case deal with each line (frequently the problem is an extra space. Delete the space and the squiggly line will disappear). <br />
<br />
I was wondering, however as &nbsp; the appearance of squiggly lines &nbsp;has to do with formatting, is there any way I can reformat the whole document preventing the problem from happening in the first place.

It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

A word processor is an electronic device or computer software application that performs the task of composition, editing, formatting, and sometimes printing of documents. Most modern word processors use a graphical user interface, and most are powerful systems consisting of one or more programs that can produce any arbitrary combination of images, graphics and text, the latter handled with type-setting capability. Typical features of a modern word processor include font application, spell checking, grammar checking, a built-in thesaurus, automatic text correction, Web integration, and HTML exporting, among others.
