ms-office

We use MS Office. Outlook for emails, Word for some documentation and I use OneNote a lot for my own note taking.

What bugs me is when I drop some code or use key words or even camel case into these apps the spell checking picks them up and I have red squiggles everywhere. Ignore is pretty much useless, so either I have to turn off Spell Check altogether start adding these to the custom dictionary.

What would be good is if I can use the Set Language function to mark a whole block of text to just not be spell checked. Has anyone found a nice solution to this or do you know of a blank dictionary is best to use?

I found using "Mohawk" kind of does that... might just use that for now. Maybe create a macro to switch between them.
