How to exclude comments from spell-checking

[hans.list]

I want to exclude all comments from being spell-checked. This is what I came up with:

Sub ExcludeCommentsFromSpellChecking()
Dim commentaar As Comment

For Each commentaar In ActiveDocument.Comments

commentaar.Range.Select
Selection.LanguageID = wdNoProofing
Next commentaar
End Sub

I'd be grateful for better solutions than this one ...

Modify the Comment Text and Balloon Text styles so that they are set to "Do
not check spelling or grammar." (For each of the styles, in the Modify Style
dialog box, click Format, Language.)

Which version of Word are you using, by the way?

In code, you'd need something like this:

ActivedDocument.Styles("Comment Text") _
..LanguageID = wdNoProofing

and the corresponding code for Balloon Text, of course.

Correction:

ActiveDocument.Styles("Comment Text") _
..LanguageID = wdNoProofing

Thanks, Stefan!
