Calc: disable spell check for range of cells

In calc version 6.0.1.1 how do I disable spell check for a range of cells?
The old trick of selecting ‘Format Cells->Language =None’ doesnt work because that “none” item is gone in this version of calc.

I have none among the language options for Calc cell formatting in 6.1.0.3. Maybe you should upgrade.

Make sure you look under Format → Cells, tab Font, Language; that has a [None] entry. Do not confuse with Format → Cells, tab Numbers, Language; that does not have a None entry.

Bless you - that was it.
