I have many footnotes that are in MLA format as references. Word's spell/grammar checker complains about the text.

I know that I can disable this if I can figure out how to set the language of that text to no language but I can only figure out how to do that for the whole document, not just the selected text.

Is there a way to do this?

If not, is there a way to prevent the spell/grammar checker from checking footnotes, or a page range?

According to phenry

In Word 2010:

  1. Select the text you want to affect. You can use Ctrl + A to select all the text in the document.
  2. Review tab > Language group > Language button > Set Proofing Language
  3. In the Language dialog, select the language you want to use for spell checking.

In Word 2007, Review tab > Proofing group > Set Language will accomplish the same thing.
