In previous versions, the right-click pop-up on a misspelled word would allow me to ignore all spelling in that particular document. But it's not there anymore and I can find no reference to being able to do it, neither in the app nor online. Help?

For Word 2013, if you want to ignore spelling errors for a particular document while still check spelling errors for other documents, you can go to the Exceptions for: section at the end of the File -> Options -> Proofing section.
Your current document should be selected in the drop-down as default. Check the Hide spelling errors in this document only.
File >> Options >> Proofing
Should be an option to turn off grammar/spell-checking for your document.
File >> Options >> Proofing.
Uncheck "Check spelling as you type" and "Mark grammar errors as you type".
Here is a view of the settings windows (with relevant options highlighted).
For more information, see Microsoft Support.
I believe the File >> Options >> Proofing setting is global.
An alternative is to use a different style for the affected areas, then select:
- Modify style
- Format
- Language
- Tick "Do not check spelling or grammar"
file-> Options-> Proofing-> Exceptions for: --> check[ Hide spelling errors in this document only] (& if you want to ignore grammar errors also then) check[ Hide grammar errors in this document only]
