Can text areas be flagged to be skipped by Spell Check?
Is it possible to have certain areas in a Word document to be skipped by "Spell Check"? I have a word file that I send out to users, it users abbreviations that are not in there spell check dictionaries, and some are complaining. Is it possible to mark some areas to be skipped by spell check but not other areas? If there are alternative work arounds I am open. I appereciate the help |

Absolutely! Any amount of text can be selected and formatted as "Do not
check spelling or grammar" ("No proofing" in older versions of Word) in the Tools | Language | Set Language dialog. The easiest way to apply this is to create a character style, based on Default Paragraph Font, that is just DPF + Do not check spelling or grammar. Apply this character style to any text you don't want spell-checked. -- Suzanne S.
