How can I set a spellcheck rule that will enable MSword (2013) to skip some part of the text.

For instance I would ask him to skip the text between a double parenthesis.

text that must be checked here ((skip that part)) and here.

Is it possible to do it with VBA?

ps: This thread does not answer the question. (What the guy was asking was more tricky: he wanted the spellcheck to ignore some characters with a word eg. "blabla correct[ing] blabla")

Here is what you can do:

  1. You need to set a new style that will not be checked, to apply it to the existing text: this is explained here
  2. Select the text you don't want to be corrected : use the following regex (Find and replace and check use wildcards) to select everything between your (( )) : \(\(\.*\)\)
  3. Click on format, style and choose the style created in 1.
  4. Click on Replace All
  5. Next time you enter a text between a double parenthesis apply the style

You can assign a shorcut to the style by right clicking on the style in the ribbon Home/style and choosing Modify. Than click on format, Shorcut key and choose an unassigned combination.
