Don't Spellcheck a Specific Style
A user wanted to know how to have spell check skip portions of his document.
I'm working on a project document for an application I'm working on and I'm creating lists of fields for a database. These fields are not proper words so the spell checker is underlining them. I was wondering if there is a way to have the spell checker not check a certain Style? So that I can enter my field lists as a custom style (fields) and use other styles for the plain text in the document. Is this possible? or do I have to select each field and say Ignore All, or create a custom field dictionary.
This is done simply in OOo, because each style has a language associated with it as does the spellchecker. So, essentially, if you set the language of the style none, it won't be checker. This was explained by Janet Swisher
More directly, you can set the "Language" of the style (on the Font tab) to "[None]", and then it won't be checked.
