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? -- S Thomas |

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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
