Spanish Auto Correct issues
I have auto-correct working for Spanish language settings. However, my issue
is that it does not catch all the missed accents on words (for example, some words like "el" also have an accented form which is "él"). The problem is that these words are not even underlined showing them to be incorrect, so at times I miss them. I assume that this is a similar error to the problems encountered in words such as "where" and "were" that Word does not generally underline because they both seem correct. Simply, is there any feature I can turn on (or off) on Word that will make auto-correct catch all words like this or even just accented words in Spanish language settings? Thank you for your time. |

Spanish Auto Correct issues
You cannot use autocorrect sensibly when there are two correct possible
alternatives. What you can do is create an exclude dictionary that contains such anomalies and so both versions would be flagged by the spell checker as incorrect. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "David" wrote in message ...

Spanish Auto Correct issues
If you were using Word 2007, the contextual spelling checker might catch
such errors (as it would catch an incorrect usage of "where" for "were" or vice versa). For any earlier version, Graham's suggestion of exclusion dictionary entries is probably the only recourse. For more on that, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/E...ordFromDic.htm -- Suzanne S.
