How to: Stop Microsoft Word’s spellchecker

Turn it off for some passages of text

Q How can I stop Word 2003 checking spelling and grammar for certain passages of text? ‘No language’ doesn’t seem to be an option in the list of proofing languages.
Denys Hall

A You are nearly there – select the text you don’t want checked, go to Tools, Language, Set Language… Below the language list you’ll see an option – ‘Do not check spelling or grammar’.

Although the wording gives the impression that this is a global option, it refers to the selection.

If there are consistent types of text you don’t want proofed, you could create a macro. Create a new style from the button in the Styles and Formatting task pane. Click the Format button in the New Style dialogue, choose Language, and tick the ‘Do not check…’ button as before.
