Turn off Spell Check temporarily?
I'm creating a technical doc in Word 2007. It is computer related info,
i.e. a lot of acronyms and abbreviations. 80% of the document has the little red squiggly lines indicating spelling errors. Is there a way to turn off Spell Check per document? Or would I need to go into Word setup, turn it off, then turn it back on after I'm done? Thanks |

Where or how would I define the character style you're referring to? I like
that idea. "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ... JohnB wrote: I'm creating a technical doc in Word 2007.

Here's the simplest way:
- Select any word that already has "Do not check spelling" applied to it. - Right-click and choose Styles Save selection as a new Quick Style. - In the dialog that appears, click the Modify button. - Change the name from the suggested "Style1" to something like "NoProofing", and change the style type from "Linked (paragraph and character)" to "Character". At this point, the description below the preview box should say "Do not check spelling or grammar, Style: Quick Style, Priority: 2, Based on: Default Paragraph Font". - Click the option button at the bottom for "New documents based on this template" and click OK. Additionally, if you want a keyboard shortcut to apply the style, go to Office button Word Options Customize, and click the Keyboard Customize button. Select the category Styles, then select your style, enter a shortcut, and click the Assign button. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
