Spell Check
Hi Everyone,
Please help with a MS Word problem: I'm writing a big research paper with lots of topic-specific terminology, like "habitus" or "securitization," and, of course, MS Word counts these terms as misspelled. So, in order to improve the view of the document, I right click on these terms and click "ignore all." This works while I'm in the document, but when I close it and then eventually reopen it, the words AGAIN have a little red squiggly line underneath. I have to follow the same process (right click all terms and choose "ignore all" if I want my document to look good). What's the point of have the "ignore all" option if it is just temporary? This is a big flaw in MS Word. How can MS allow something so fundamental to happen. Antonio |

You have two other choices. You can either add the words to your custom
dictionary (you can even create a separate custom dictionary just for these terms), or you can apply a "No Proofing" character style. For more on the latter, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MasterSpellCheck.htm -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Antonio" wrote in message ...

"Ignore all" is _intended_ to be only for the current session. If you know that the flagged word is correctly spelled, add it to your custom dictionary by right-clicking it and choosing "Add to Dictionary". After that it will never be flagged again. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Thanks for answering my question, I really appreciate it. I'm still confused as to the logic of the "ignore all" option if it is just temporary. I think it is more MS's misunderstanding of how to create a software package that is user friendly, and don't even get me started on Vista. |
