Ignore ALL mispelled words
I have the spell checker turned on. After it finds all the mispelled words,
sometimes I want to ignore all of them (especially if I have some programming code in the document). Is there a way to ignore all the mispelled words in one shot instead of stepping through each mispelled word and selecting IGNORE. I don't want to go in and turn the spell checker off for just one document and then have to go turn it back on again. -- Greg in Atlanta |

Ignore ALL mispelled words
that's basically what I am trying to avoid, changing settings. If I'm going
to do that I may as well go into TOOLS | OPTIONS | SPELLING AND GRAMMER and turn off the spell checker and then turn it back on when I'm done. What I want to do, in essence, is to override the current settings one time, not change them and change them back -- Greg in Atlanta "Greg Maxey" wrote: Select the text.

Well you can't get something for nothing. Without changing something
how is Word supposed to know if you are done playing with spelling or not? However by checking spelling in an area in a document and then changing the language setting for that area of text is not the same thing as turning spell checking on and off. The checking of spelling in that area of the document is off forever unless you turn it back on. Spelling in the rest or your document, a document you start tomorrow, or start next week is not affected.

There are a couple of ways to deal with this:
1. If you want to hide the spelling errors but still be able to run the spelling check, choose "Hide spelling errors in this document." This will suppress the wavy lines on the display for just that document (without affecting others). 2. If you want to ignore all misspellings and prevent spell checking entirely, Ctrl+A to select all the text, go to Tools | Language | Set Language and check "Do not check spelling or grammar." In your case, though, it sounds as if there is specific text that you want to exempt from spell checking. The best approach for this is to define a style (character or paragraph as appropriate) that includes "Do not check spelling or grammar." A character style can be Default Paragraph Font + Do not check spelling or grammar. Apply this style to the text you don't want spell-checked. -- Suzanne S.
