any way to turn of parts of grammar-check in word?

I'm writing a legal memo in Word and when I cite a case, Word always considers it a fragmented sentence. Is there anyway to turn off that specific check, that is, the "fragment-sentance" check, and leave the rest of grammar check on?

thanks

There are options for the grammar setting. While in Word, go to the Word drop down menu, and select preferences. You will see several options, and go to the grammar setting, and select/deselect the ones you want.
