Default Can you exclude a paragraph/words from spell check?

I believe this may be what you're referring to:

Select the text to be omitted then go to the Review tab, click the Set
Language button in the Proofing group & check the box for "Do not check
spelling or grammar".

That I do know but in previous versions you could actually highlight a
paragraph and exclude it from spell check. I am wondering if that feature
is
gone... I'm talking about hundreds of pages in a document, not just a
page.

Hi,

In all the versions of Word that I know, you can select a portion of a
document and press F7. Word will spellcheck only the selected text.

For more information on the spellchecker, see also

Hope this helps,

There used to be a function back in Office XP that you could exclude a

has
been removed or just hidden somehow in the new interface for 2007?

We currently use Word 2007. I have never used this feature but one of
my
users said he used this all the time back in the day when typing long
documents and books... Thanks for any help.
