Turn off proofing for quotations in Word
When directly quoting somebody, I would like to quote them verbatim, and their writing style often clashes with Word's style/grammar checker. While I can manually ignore them, the squiggly lines always pop back up when I reopen the document.

I would like to keep corrections on for non-quotation text, but the squiggly lines in the quotations distract me from the actually useful suggestions. Is there a way to automatically turn off corrections for *only* quotations in Microsoft Word?
