Another approach is to modify the behavior of the spelling checker rather than completely suppressing spell-checking. The Spelling Checker Options dialog lets you specify that words in all caps or words that contain specified characters (e.g. punctuation marks), for example.
It may also be helpful to remember a couple of characteristics of FrameMaker's spelling checker that separate if from the dumb spell-checkers we may be used to in other applications. First and foremost, FrameMaker does not spell-check every paragraph on every spell-check pass. It uses a paragraph-level spell-check flag so that it only checks new paragraphs or paragraphs that have been changed in some way since it was last spell-checked. If you *want* FrameMaker to do a complete spell-check you have to explicitly select the Mark All Paragraphs for Rechecking option in the Dictionaries dialog. The bottom line is that under normal usage only the first time you spell-check a document will every paragraph that has a specified language be checked. Also remember to make appropriate use of the "Allow in document" button when doing that initial spell-check. This adds the questioned word to an internal word list that functions much like an additional user that applies only to thatdocument. After you OK a word or acronym or abbreviation in a given file, FrameMaker won't question it again unless/until you use the Recheck All option. In our group's docs, we use Language = None only for code listing paragraphs. We use lots of acronyms and abbreviations and find the small pain of the first full spell-check pass to be quite acceptable. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
