If you're trying to make a character style that ignores misspellings you
need to check the box instead of clearing it.

It sure would be nice if I could select a bunch text, right-click on a
flagged misspeling, select Ignore and have all the misspellings within
the selection be ignored.
Can it be done w/ a macro?
Within a doc,I often have long lists of words that are not in
dictionary. I can't stand the red squigly underline, so I have to go
through each word and tell the spell checker to ignore. This is a
pain for a hundred word list.
Ex:
HappyMonkeyTree
LiveSunset
BigManLuke
This sounds great, but it is not working for me.
When I select Language the "Do not check spelling or grammar" I find
a greyed check mark. I deselect it (clear it) and save style, but
when I go back to check it is grayed again (does not stay cleared).
Also, the description shows "Default paragraph font +" and nothing
else.
Of course, I am an idiot! Works great now.
Last question: When I tried to change the text back to normal it
stayed stuck in the new "Do Not Spell Check" style. Why can't I
change it back to Normal?
