Default Spell Check Getting it to ignore a double word name

We use Office 2003 Professional. We have a user whose name is a double word
(i.e, Lee Lee). When her supervisor adds her to the custom dictionary, it
still stops at her name as a double word when she runs Spell Check. I am
supposing this is due to the space in the middle of the name. When the spell
checker stops at her name the Ignore Always option is disabled. Is there a
way to get the spell checker to ignore her name or get it to recognize a two
word phrase with a space in the dictionary when spell check runs?

Default Spell Check Getting it to ignore a double word name

You share a problem with people who write about the Washington city of
Walla Walla, among others. The only way I've seen to prevent the spell
check from complaining is to replace the space in the middle with a
nonbreaking space (Ctrl+Shift+spacebar). It would be possible to make
an AutoCorrect entry -- for example, replace Lee2 with
Leenonbreaking spaceLee.
