Word should catalog misspelled words to study.
I think Outlook does use the same dictionary but perhaps is not capable of
using an exclusion dictionary. But you'd need to ask in an Outlook NG. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Dilbert" wrote in message ... GREAT. Thank you! Now is there any way top solve the same problem in Outlook? It must not share the same dictionaries. -- -Dilbert "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This option already exists. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/Ex...ordFromDic.htm -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Dilbert" wrote in message ... I agree. WORD is too complex already. BUT, I'd really like to have the option of removing a few "correct" spellings from the dictionary. Fro some reason, I just can't type the word fro - fro- (I mean FOR). Word likes "fro" but if any us are being poetic, it is easy to ADD words to the dictionary. Just impossible to remove pesky ones. -- -Dilbert "Jay Freedman" wrote: rndthought wrote: For the purpose of becoming a better speller, Word should have the option to catalog misspelled words. Words that the user more commonly typed correctly can be treated as "mistypes" and removed from the list. Then one could come back to this list for further study. Maybe a simple interface that can print a study list and does a spelling test type routine: Computer says the word, you type the word. Maybe even have a Typing Practice interface that takes the common mistypes and builds a practice routine to improve typing skills. I don't agree that Word should be cluttered with this sort of thing. If you want a typing tutor, look for the "Mavis Beason Teaches Typing" program from Broderbund. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
