Graham may be right (probably is). I was tinkering with this earlier.
Didn't work for me either. However, I had two English languages enabled
(U.K. and U.S.). I only edited the U.S. exclusion dictionary and it didn't
work. After I disabled the U.K. language it worked. I don't remember if I
restarted Word in this process or not.

You also need to restart Word.

I need to tell Word 2007 (running under Vista) to "flag" some words.
For example, I want the speller to flag "manger" as an incorrect
spelling (I sometimes type that, when I actually meant manager)
I've tried my best to follow the Word 2007 "help" instructions . . .
. but the Exclude Dictionary does not seem to be paying attention . .
. it still accepts "manger" as an accepted word (does not flag it).
Here's what I've done . . .
TO CREATE AN "EXCLUDE" DICTIONARY:
1. C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof
2. Click on file: ExcludeDictionaryEN0409
3. Open with MS-Word
4. Type the word to ad in LOWER case only, followed by hard return
5. Save
What have I done wrong?
Thanks so much
