Default Merge Fields Spell Check

How do I have the options "check spelling and gramar" to be unchecked in the
language settings on merge fields in a document. When the text is merged
into a document and it is spelt incorrectly it is not set as part of the
spell check because this option is set on the merge field. If you uncheck
the option it checks itself back on.

Better to run the spell check on the data source.

Alternatively, execute the merge to a new document, use Ctrl+a to select
everything and from the Tools menu, select Language and then the Set
Language option and make sure that the "Do not check spelling or grammar"
box is unchecked.
