What is keyboard shortcut for Spelling > Ignore All?

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:

  1. Select the word

  2. Press F7

  3. Press 'c' (step that was left out)

  4. Press 'g'

That sequence executes the 'Ignore All' option on the word.
