Word - Spelling
Hello
AOs: Windows XP App: Office XP I created a new document with 'English U.K.' as the language. If I enter 'realize' instead of 'realise' it is not flagged as a spelling mistake. I have added an AutoCorrect entry to correct this. However, this is method is only good for this PC. What else can I do to flag U.S. spelt words as a spelling errors. Regards Mike |

Usually 'realize' is spelt 'realise' in the UK (see www.dictionary.cambridge.org). I am looking for another method besides AutoCorrect to flag 'realize' as an error.

As either is acceptable in UK English, neither is flagged as incorrect, but
if you insist on flagging words with 'ize' as incorrect, then you need to add an exclusion dictionary containing those words. Exclusion dioctionary is listed in Word 2007 help and under 'specify a preferred spelling for a word' (exclude dictionary) in Word 2003 help. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mike Faulkner wrote: Brian Usually 'realize' is spelt 'realise' in the UK (see www.dictionary.cambridge.org).
