How can I flag source code in an MS Word document to not spell check?

Question

Sometimes, for what ever reason, I copy source code into either a word document, or an email ... which in Outlook, I believe, is using Word.

Anyway, it would be nice if I could spell check the english part of my document without having to manually ignore each and every source code token.

Is there an option, or some type of style formatting I can set, which will tell the spell checker to ignore it?

Answer 1

This one's easy. Select the code you pasted, go to Tools -> Language (or in the latest version of Word, the equivalent on the ribbon) and select the checkbox "Don't check."

Answer 2

Highlight the code/text in the document go to the Tools Menu>Language>Set Language. There will be a "Do not check spelling or grammar" checkbox

this will mark the area so that the spellchecker skips over it
