Default Spell Check - treat underscore as word separator

Hello Andy

What exactly are these underscores (sound like variable names)?
Possibly, you could add them individually to your custom dictionary?


The underscores separate words in variable names, such as data elements and
file names. The words themselves tend to be proper words, as opposed to
abbreviations (e.g. vendor_address_1 as opposed to vendor_addr1).

Adding them all to a custom dictionary would not be practical (we're talking
about thousands of possibilities, since customer_address_1, client_address_1
and attorney_address_1 are just some of the possibilities for Address 1
alone).


you could automate the adding part, but I agree it's probably not
elegant anyway.

If you don't want to see spelling errors there, I only see two options:

- adding the variable names to the custom dictionary, or
- setting the language property of these words to "no proofing" (you
could use a character style for this).
