In Word, I can find keyboard shortcuts by pressing the Alt key. It then displays shortcut keys to the various parts of the Ribbon. For example, if I have a table selected, I can press, in turn, 'Alt' 'H' 'B' 'N' to remove the borders from the table. But, if I have a word selected containing a red squiggly line, indicating it's not in the dictionary, and I right-click on that word, I get the following popup.
I can the, of course, select Ignore All to turn off spell-checking on that word. What I would like to do is select a word, and then use an appropriate set of key presses to do the same thing. But since "Ignore All" does not seem to appear in any of the Ribbon items (Home, Insert, etc.) I don't know what keys to press. Is there a way to do this?

OK, I found the solution. You left out a step. The procedure is:
That sequence executes the 'Ignore All' option on the word.

Hi MesPia,
Thanks for reaching out!
We understand that you wanted to know the shortcut to ignore all for spelling in your Word document. Let me guide you to address this matter.
We have multiple shortcut keys that can be used in a Word document. You can use the F7 button to invoke the Spell Check options, which are located on the Review tab on the Ribbon.
Afterwards, you can use the "I" button for "Ignore once" and the "G" button for "Ignore all". Here is a sample screenshot:

The 'g' you mention as the shortcut key, however, is only available after you have already used the mouse to right-click word. I was looking for a way to do all from the keyboard. With the help of Genevieve Cri (see above) I was able to come up with the correct keyboard only sequence; namely,
F7 C G
Thanks.

In many menus including this one, the shortcut key is indicated by an underline, i.e. "g" in the dialog shown. "A" would be add to dictionary; "S" would be see more.
I tried to follow your instructions. Shown below is a word not in the dictionary.
When I press F7 if get the following popup.
If I press 'G' here, I get a beep but nothing else.
