grammar checker should allow turning off each rule separately

P

pollira

I have a problem with the grammar checker. I am a physician, and one of the
sentences I use frequently is "straight leg raising test was normal". The
grammar checker always flags this. I would like to be able to turn this
particular rule off, or at a minimum to be able to tell the grammar checker
that this phrase is OK.

You can mark any text as "no proofing." Select the text, go to Tools |
Language | Set Language and check the box for "Do not check spelling or
grammar." You can also create a character style (based on Default Paragraph
Font) that has the "no proofing" property and apply that to text as needed.
It's barely possible that you can save an AutoText entry of this phrase (or
any other) with this style applied (I haven't had a lot of success with
this).
