How to stop spelling from detecting repeated words?
I have names of places that are two repeated words eg. Nowa Nowa. How can I
stop this from being shown as an error (repeated word) everytime I write it? I have added the whole "Nowa Nowa" to the dictionary but makes no difference. |

I have added the whole "Nowa Nowa" to the dictionary but makes no difference. There is no way to turn off the repeated-word feature. I've heard that there's a built-in, unchangeable list of exceptions, but oddly the city of Walla Walla isn't on the list even though it isn't far from Microsoft's home in Redmond. A workaround is to replace the space in the middle with a nonbreaking space (Ctrl+Shift+spacebar) to make the speller consider it to be only one word; then you can add the resulting word to the custom dictionary. To add a bit more convenience, select the combination and create an AutoCorrect entry for it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
