Description [REDACTED] 2016-09-07 18:57:58 UTC
Created attachment 127203 [details]
File displaying some misspelled words in Dutch and some ranadom text with no language assigned.

Origin: question on https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/76813/disable-spellcheck-in-specific-calc-cell/?comment=76830#post-id-76830

Question: how to disable spell checking for certain cells. I assumed that setting language to None would do just that, but as it happens, when you type a misspelled word in another cell, the misspelled words in the cells with no language assigned are also curly underlined.

Attached is a screen shot of the content. Cells to the left have language Dutch, the right column has language set to None.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for filing here.
When applying formatting in Calc, it's good to realize that there is a difference in doing that to a cell or to strings in a cell.
With that in mind: edit the cell, select text and again set to no language.
(I did it with Format > Character)
That solves it for me :)
If not, please reopen with details of your situation.

ciao - Cor
