Parent elements
Description
w:noProof instructs the application not to apply spell-checking or grammar-checking to the run. It is an on/off toggle property defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.3.2.21.
Typical uses include code samples, proper names, or foreign-language fragments embedded in a document that would otherwise trigger spurious spell-check errors. For language-specific spell-checking control, prefer w:lang which directs the checker to use a specific language dictionary.
