Re: Stop autocorrect for specific style only

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You can absolutely include this property in a character style (because
language is a character property); is your character style based on Default
Paragraph Font?

Thanks Suzanne.

In one of my custom styles (based on a paragraph style) I did this and it
worked. However, in another custom style (based on a character style) it
doesn't seem to work. In the latter style, the "Do not check spelling or
grammar" box is indeterminate. If I check it, close the Language dialog
box
with OK, and then open it right back up the box is unchecked and
indeterminate again. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Modify the style to include the "Do not check spelling or grammar"
property
(in earlier versions, you'd do this through Format | Language in the
Modify
Style dialog). If you also set the style to some language other than the
one
assigned to your .acl (AutoCorrect) file, presumably AutoCorrect won't
work,
either.

In Word 2007, how do I stop autocorrecting or spell checking for a
specific
style only?
Thanks.
