How do I turn off spellcheck in calc per document

I need to turn off spellcheck on one specific document. I read in an old thread to set language to none. But that is not an option in the version I have. So what is the new way of doing this. I don’t want to turn it off for everything,not even all of calc, just this one project. It contains all web addresses, so none are spelled correctly.

[None] is an option in my 7.2.2.2 version of Calc. Tools>Options>LanguageSettings>Languages then set the For current document only checkbox toward the bottom then select [None] from the very top of the drop-list for Western:…at least if you are using a Western language. I confirmed on an ods-type spreadsheet that with English (USA) selected under Western: I get spelling errors flagged when I select Spelling… from the Tools menu, but with [None] selected under Western: I get no spelling errors flagged at all. Also, I get no wavy red lines with Automatic Spell Checking set in the Tools menu when Western: is set to [None]. (Which is pretty easy to turn off per use, but I can see the problem you have if you are constantly switching among documents.)

You have the ability to control spellcheck at the cell range level.
Select the range for which you want to disable spellcheck. Menu Format / Cells (or Ctrl+1), Font tab. Select [None] from the Language: list (this is the first item in the list). Then OK and the job is done.
