Spellcheck in Word
Word will not pick up a mispelled word, "hypertensin". It should be
"hypertension" and I can find no other word or medication spelled "hypertensin" yet the spellcheck does not pick it up. I have even created a new document and just typed that word and it still doesn't get it. |

Not only does my (UK English) Word 2003 pick it up - it also autocorrects
it. -- Enjoy, Tony "Bobbimc76" wrote in message ... Word will not pick up a mispelled word, "hypertensin".

Spellcheck in Word
Select the word and go to Tools | Language | Set Language. Make sure the
correct language is selected and "Do not check spelling or grammar" is not checked. -- Suzanne S.

Spellcheck in Word
Suzanne: I tried that. The correct language WAS selected and the "Do not
check spelling or grammar" was not checked and it STILL doesn't pick it up. I have Stedman's dictionary installed and it will pick up the most complicated medication and medical term but for some reason, it will not pick up that word (which we happen to use quite often).

And you've checked the Custom.dic to make sure that the misspelling was not
added inadvertently? If that's not the answer, then you can add "hypertensin" to the exclusion dictionary; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/Ex...ordFromDic.htm -- Suzanne S.

It may be mispelled in Stedman's. You can try putting it in your exclude
list.

That's exactly what it was. "Hypertensin" was the former name of a
medication so Stedman's was recognizing it. So I will put it in the exclude list (as soon as I figure out how). Thank you. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: It may be mispelled in Stedman's.
