Spell Check Not Picking Up All Words
I have a user who is experiencing an issue when spell checking within Word
2002, SP3. Spell check refuses to pick up two specific word (it is spell checking the rest of the document correctly). I have checked the custom.dic and the words do not reside there (the two word are fess (should be fees) and wavier (waiver). I also went to Tools | Options | Spellcheck and confirmed the words did not reside in Autocorrect. Also within Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar, I tried unchecking the custom dictionary and ran the test (which did not work) as well as then checking the custom dictionary back on and unchecking Suggest from main dictionary only. I also checked under Tools | Language | Set Language and confirmed Do not check spelling or grammar was unchecked. As a last resort, I removed normal.dot (after closing Word) and let it recreate itself but the words are still not being found. I launched Outlook and created a new e-mail using the words and they are not being found in Outlook either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Donna |

Spell Check Not Picking Up All Words
Actually those two words don't get cited by spell check simply because they
are both legitimate words - just because they aren't the words the user intended to type doesn't mean they are incorrectly spelled... just like hear & here. If there is little use of "wavier" (more wavy) and fess (wide band on a heraldic shield) you may want to *add* them to the AutoCorrect list to be changed to "waiver" & "fees", respectively. Otherwise, just grin & bear it with the knowledge that we both have had our vocabulary enhanced -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "DonnaP." wrote in message ...
