Default Stop SpellCheck on per document basis?

Can you choose to turn off spell&grammer check features on a document by
document basis without turning it off Word wide?

Default Stop SpellCheck on per document basis?

Yes, in two ways:

1. You can check the box for "Hide spelling/grammatical errors in this
document." This is a per-document setting. It will suppress the "Check
spelling/grammar as you type" wavy underlines but still permit you to check
the spelling or grammar manually.

2. You can select all the text in the document, go to Tools | Language | Set
Language, and check the box for "Do not check spelling or grammar." This
will disable the spelling/grammar check entirely by formatting the text as
"(no proofing)." You can also do this on a selective basis by doing this for
selected text or by defining a character style with this property that you
can apply to selected text.
