Words with red underlining...

[Guest]

....It's for indicating spelling errors...how to make it all these red lines
go away all in one shot instead right-clicking each word 7 choose Ignore?
There's no interest in the spelling in this example. Thanks

Right-click on the Spelling and Grammar Status icon on the status bar and
click Hide Spelling Errors. This setting is document-specific (it can also
be accomplished by checking the box for "Hide spelling errors in this
document" on the Spelling & Grammar tab of Tools | Options). If you are
sending the document and suspect that the recipient may have "Check grammar
as you type" enabled (even if you don't), you may also want to check "Hide
grammar errors in this document."

This setting still permits explicit spelling/grammar checking using F7. If
you want to eliminate that as well, Ctrl+A to select all the text in the
document and go to Tools | Language | Set Language and check "Do not check
spelling or grammar."

If the issue is with certain types of text for which spell checking is not
appropriate (mathematical formulas and the like), you have (at least) two
options:

1. Just checking "Ignore words with numbers" on the Spelling & Grammar tab
of Tools | Options will take care of most math issues.

2. You can define a character style that is Default Paragraph Font + Do not
check spelling or grammar. Apply this to words you don't want check, while
leaving spell checking intact in the remainder of the document.

Select all (Ctrl+A) and set the language to "Do not check...". This article
explains the issue from the opposite side:
