How do I ignore all spelling errors in a Word 2013 document?

Question

In previous versions, the right-click pop-up on a misspelled word would allow me to ignore all spelling in that particular document. But it's not there anymore and I can find no reference to being able to do it, neither in the app nor online. Help?

Answer 1

File >> Options >> Proofing

Should be an option to turn off grammar/spell-checking for your document.

Answer 2

For Word 2013, if you want to ignore spelling errors for a particular document while still check spelling errors for other documents, you can go to the Exceptions for: section at the end of the File -> Options -> Proofing section.

Your current document should be selected in the drop-down as default. Check the Hide spelling errors in this document only.

Answer 3

File >> Options >> Proofing.
Uncheck "Check spelling as you type" and "Mark grammar errors as you type".

Here is a view of the settings windows (with relevant options highlighted).

For more information, see Microsoft Support.

Answer 4

I believe the File >> Options >> Proofing setting is global.

An alternative is to use a different style for the affected areas, then select:

1. Modify style
2. Format
3. Language
4. Tick "Do not check spelling or grammar"

Answer 5

file-> Options-> Proofing-> Exceptions for: --> check[ Hide spelling errors in this document only] (& if you want to ignore grammar errors also then) check[ Hide grammar errors in this document only]
