Word: Disable spell checker for a paragraph?

Question

Is it possible to disable the automatic spell checker in MS Word 2010 for single paragraphs of a document or just for some parts of a document? I'd like to get rid of the squiggly lines in some parts of a document (e.g. containing extracts of an XML document), because they make reading the document hard.

Answer 1

What you can do is select the paragraph(s) in question, then go to the Review section of the ribbon.

Now in the Language dialog box, select the option Do not check spelling or grammar and click OK.

 The paragraph will be excluded in the check.
