Don't Spell Check This..

Often when you’re working on a document including one which contains code, or foreign language words you will want the document spell checked but you’d like the code or foreign language words omitted – so you’re not distracted by the red underlining everywhere.

To do this, in Word 2007, select the text you don’t want to be checked and double click the Language entry on the status bar – typically this will show English (United States) or similar. When the dialog appears, choose the Do not check spelling or grammar checkbox. This disables spell checking for this particular word or selection. The rest of the document is spell checked as usual but words you don’t want to be checked, won’t be.

Don't spell check this!

You know how it happens. You type something that is HTML or Javascript into a document or you type the famous "Lorem ipsum ... " text or a French phrase or two and suddenly your document is littered with red underlines. The Spell check can't handle it all. Now I like my documents to be pristine and neat so I tell Word to bypass spell checking these words since I'm happy they are spelled just fine.

To do this, select the text you DON'T WANT to be spell checked. Choose Tools, Language, Set Language and click the Do not check spelling or grammar option and click Ok. Now Word spell checks all your document and just skips the stuff you don't want checked.
