Writing semi technical Functional Requirements 7 Business Requirements I often have to add in words that are Column Names or other data that is separated by underscores.
I'd like to stop Word from flagging words with underscores as spelling mistakes.
Have to use word so can't change to something else :)
Ideally not flagging Camel Cased words as spelling mistakes would be great but that I'm fairly sure isn't possible.
I'd like to not flag fild_name whilst continuing to flag fild?
Is this possible?
Mark the text as No proofing or grammar checked. Select the text then in Word 2010 this can be found under Review->Language->Set Proofing Language and click the Do Not Check Spelling or grammar box.
You could put this in a macro and then put that as a button on the toobar or quick access toolbar and save clicks.

I've tried the usual markdown syntax, for example:
```py
# Here's my Python code
import this
```
But it doesn't seem to work, it just displays it literally as if it was plain text. I wasn't able to find information as to whether markdown was the right syntax, or if there's another one, or if there simply isn't one. But when it replies with code, it does display it in a proper format (monospace font and everything), so that seems to indicate that there might be a way.
Of course this doesn't hinder its comprehension of code in any way, it's just for me, if I want to review the conversation later.

Is it possible to have Word (Office 365) automatically select a block of text when a user clicks into it?
For example we have instructions in a document that might be [insert updated fee here]
In general the whole block needs to be replaced with the new text.
These blocks are formatted in a specific way, so the method could be associated with a specific style, but as there are likely multiple instances of the style we would only want to update the one clicked on, not all instances.
I can't find a native method, so are we looking at a macro on each template that this occurs on?
You could insert your text blocks into Rich Text Content Controls as the placeholder texts for those content controls. No code required.

I have two questions I was hoping the community could help me with. I'm specially using CSL in Mendeley with the Microsoft Word plugin.
Do you know how to control the spacing/tab between the number of the citation and the author names? I want this to be a space, but in the style I have it is a tab. I an unable to find this option! Please see screenshot #1.
example of the space between citation number and citation text in the bibliograpy
Is there a way I can control formatting of the bibliography using a word style? For example, I want it to remove the hanging indent and match the font/size of the rest of my document. See Screenshot #2.
example of the difference in formatting between the bibliography list and the remainder of the text of the paper
Many thanks for taking the time to answer these questions!
You can address by removing the second-field-align="flush" from the bibliography line of the style and instead just setting a suffix=" " on <text variable="citation-number"/>. However that will mean (by definition of what a space does) that subsequent lines will not start flush with the text, but will begin at the beginning of the line (though it sounds like that may be what you want anyway?). If you just want the tab to be shorter you can fix that in Word.
No, Mendely and CSL do not allow you to automatically address the Word style you're using. I believe the bibliography will get inserted with its own Word style, though, so you can modify that once and have the changes stick.

Is there any way, via settings or a custom script, to force the use of ASCII-only encoding in Outlook 2013?
I often pass one-liners and code snippets between myself and other developers, and we will copy-paste them into a command-line prompt for testing various tools. A common issue is that the editor will replace hyphens - with some wider "full width hyphen" or "dash" character, that gets converted to an accented ASCII character when we paste it into prompts.
Right now, we resolve it by pasting it into GVIM on Windows and running a VIM script to handle the conversion, but it's a pain and can be unreliable, especially for other developers who hate using VIM. Since all correspondence is handled in English, French, or Italian anyways (we don't get picky with accents), there's no need for unicode support. Can we turn it off?
Thanks.
No, and this has nothing to do with Unicode support in Outlook. This is how Outlook editor (Word) works.
EDIT: you can turn smart quotes off in Outlook: http://www.extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/2084-outlook-disable-turn-off-smart-quotes.html

I have in Word ‘hello’ and when I paste it I get 018hello 019 so the apostrophes turn into these strange characters.
The type of web application should not matter as the behaviour is different depending on the workstation I use.
I checked with Notepad, Excel and Wordpad and this issue does not occur, only for Word.
It should be a Word/IE setting .
Do you know which one ?
Thanks
The quotation marks in word are not the "regular" quotation marks. Word automatically replaces quotations as you type them with fancy ones called "smart quotes". Since your browser does not understand smart quotes it replaces them.
This is known as the Word "smart quotes" feature. There should be a place to turn it off somewhere in the Word settings.
More information can be found at the Quotation mark glyphs Wikipedia article.
