Word integration / ignore spellchecker on citations

jfr · October 31, 2011

Hi,
may it be possible to mark the citation inserted into word in a way that they are ignored by the spell checker? About 90% of the authors that I cite are not recognized by the spellchecker and underlined in red... Not really dramatic but nevertheless this does not really make sense.
Regards,
J

Are you using fields or bookmarks? Which Word version?

My Word 2011 for Mac does not spell check fields. If your version does, then you might solve this by adjusting word preferences. This is not controlled by Zotero.

I use fields in Word 2002 SP3
May I change the spellchecker preferences somewhere?
Maybe, older versions of Word spellcheck fields while newer versions do not...

I personally use fields in Word 2010, but still have my citation fields spell-checked every time, which really means a LOT of time wasted by clicking Ignore All until I finally get to a non-citation word that needs to be corrected. It would be a huge improvement if there were an option to make the Word spell checker skip the Zotero fields!
