I write a lot of code samples in Word and invariably they show up as misspelled words in Word 2007. Is it possible to tell Spell Check to ignore all words with a specific Style? (In this case, I use a custom style called "Code")

(In this case, I use a custom style called "Code") Yes, you can. Right-click the Code style in the Quick Style group or in the Styles pane, and choose Modify. Select the option "New documents based on this template". Click the Format button in the bottom left corner of the dialog and choose Language. Check the box for "Do not check spelling or grammar." Click OK in each dialog. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
Thanks Jay - worked perfectly. "MVP" is absolutely right - I never would have found that on my own.

I did just that (sorry to piggyback on your subject) - but it didn't work. However, I'm working in compatibility mode and the template my document was created from is a word 2003 templte (in word 2003 it worked...). My word version is 12.0.6311.5000 with SP1 12.0.6213.1000 "Jay Freedman" wrote: > On Mon, 9 Jun 2008 10:58:01 -0700, MJ wrote: > > >I write a lot of code samples in Word and invariably they show up as > >misspelled words in Word 2007. > > > >Is it possible to tell Spell Check to ignore all words with a specific > >Style?
