My document contains two large sections. One is the main body of the document (written with Arial font) and the other is an appendix with source code (written with Courier New font).

Spelling and Grammar checking is useful in the main body but goes crazy on the source code section with lines like while (row < settingsRowsCols->totalRows). I'd like to stop spelling / grammar checking on the entire source code section, or insert some field code to tell Word only to perform checking on parts of the document.

This related question appears to have a satisfactory answer for Word 2007. Can something similar be done on older versions of Word, in particular Word 97 or Word 2000?

Note: This Office support article only mentions this kind of feature back to Word 2007. Office 97, 2000 and 2003 are no longer supported by Microsoft who tend to scrub useful information about older products from their support pages to encourage upgrades. It is possible the feature to turn off checking on parts of the document was only introduced in 2007.
