How can I stop the "Spell Checking" in a "code block"? I need post some "C Code" on the Word documentation, the code have a lots of user defined name and a lots of spell error because of the funny prefix. How can I set this code block without spell checking, but rest of document still have it.



Thanks

In Word, select the text and click Review | Language | Set Proofing Language. Select "Do not check spelling or grammar," and then click OK.

Since you do this often, you may want to create a paragraph style which includes the "Do not check..." setting.

Attached is an example of the 'Macro' Style I use. Note the custom tabs, colour, etc. - and no spell checking.

Paul, just curious. As you have Macro as the following paragraph style, is there a reason why your code block uses a Shift+Enter for the lines?

Don't know what Paul's reasons may be, but it's exactly what I do with my :xmp style: for readability. A .ini file, for instance, may include several sections; it's easier to read when lines in each section end with a soft return and each section ends with a hard return – visual result, clear blocks of information.

Just to keep them together as a single paragraph. Makes it much easier for copying & pasting into the vbe later on.

Why does it make it easier, are you using code to grab it? Otherwise if you are just selecting I can not see a difference. But whatever.

Triple-click selects a whole paragraph, thus the whole code block. If I left the module as separate paragraphs, I couldn't do that.
