MS Office Forum / Word / Spelling and Grammar / April 2004excluding styles
Is there a way to exclude specific styles from being spell checked? For example, my documents often contain large amounts of data dumps, which end up being a mess of green and red after the spell/grammar checker has done with them. I'd like the SC to check my spelling as I type but to avoid anything that is formatted as data. > Is there a way to exclude specific styles from being spell checked? > For example, my documents often contain large amounts of data dumps, > which end up being a mess of green and red after the spell/grammar > checker has done with them.

I have a style format for computer code in Word, which style uses a different (monospaced) font. If you do use such a style, you could set it to "Do not check spelling or grammar". (Use the Format | Style menu item, chose your style, click the Modify button, and in the resulting dlg click the Format button, then choose Language. Then check the "Do not check spelling or grammr" checkbox.) Mike Maxwell Yes modify the formatting of the style. Specifically, change the language setting to "no proofing" or "do not check spelling and grammar."
