Word 2007 spell checker and non-breaking hyphens
Is there a way to set the Word 2007 spell checker to treat non-breaking
hyphens like regular hyphens? It will not allow me to select Ignore All for a word with a non-breaking hyphen, nor will it add them to the custom dictionary. It forces me to accept each occurance of the same word individually. Thank you, John |

Word 2007 spell checker and non-breaking hyphens
Hi John,
We released a fix for the Office 2007 speller in June. With the following patches, the Word 2007 spelling checker now correctly handles words that contain non-breaking hyphens. The KB article for the first patch is KB 972563 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972563), and it needs its Word part of the fix that is delivered via the Word KB article (KB 970942 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970942/). You problem should be solved once you install these two patches. I hope it helps.

Hi Thierry,
Thank you so much for responding. I am glad there are patches available. However, I cannot seem to install them. I keep getting a message saying there was a problem unzipping a file and that Error 40 occured.
