Default Misspelled hyphenated words

Word 2003 does not recognize misspelled hyphenated words (the second word). I
do manually insert the hyphen, but I tried automatically hyphenating the
whole document and it still misspelled the second word in a hyphenated word.

Default Misspelled hyphenated words

If you're saying that Word is not recognizing misspelled hyphenated compound
words, then is this because the two components of the compound are correct
words in their own right? If the words are not compounds but you're
hyphenating at the end of a line, make sure you're using an optional hyphen
(Ctrl+Hyphen) rather than a simple hyphen.
