Word 07 - Spell Check suggested word list
Is it possible to add words to the suggested word list that are displayed in
the Spell Check dialog box and the context sensitive pop-up menu? Is there a way to add alternative forms of the root word that is not recognized so I can select the form that applies to the need? For example, when spell check encounters the shortened for encls. for enclosure the option is enclose, uncles, etc. I've added it to autocorrect but it doesn't show up on the suggestions list. suggestions?? thanks -- howard "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - Juvenal |

Word 07 - Spell Check suggested word list
Hi Gordon,
Yup! Not my form and it comes to me with a boat-load of typos that require correction. This client is Canadian and it may be proper there. I'm looking for a method to expedite the editing process. I've mentioned the fact that they have a high number of spelling and grammatical errors and it seems to fall on deaf ears. They're probably struggling trying to support their database system. -- howard "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - Juvenal "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Howard Cross" wrote in message ...

Have you tried adding words to the Custom Dictionaries?

The Main Dictionary can't be modified, but I believe words added to custom
dictionaries are included in the list of suggested replacements as long as the Spelling & Grammar options are set appropriately. Have a look in Word Help at Create and Use Custom Dictionaries. A custom dictionary might help, but have you given any thought to Find & Replace? It's far more versatile & capable than many ever discover. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Howard Cross" wrote in message ...

Bob & Tim,
Thanks for the ideas, I added enclosure to the custom.dic but that entry is not being used in the suggestions. I thought that would just ensure that 'enclosure' would not be marked for correction. My goal was to keep the key strokes & mouse clicks to a minimum. I just created a new document and typed the abbreviation and then right-clicked the error and enclosure was not amongst the choices.  -- howard "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - Juvenal "CyberTaz" typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet wrote in message ...

Hi,
"w/encl" and "w/encls" (or"wo/encl", "wo/encls", sometimes "encls" on its own) are used in US texts. They are abbreviations for "with(out) enclosure(s)". If you go to http://yosemite.epa.gov/r9/sfund/ari...b!OpenDocument (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), you'll find a "List of Abbreviations and Acronyms Used in Administrative Record Index". It lists "encls" as abbreviation for "enclosures". So no correction might be required... Here are URLs to US documents containing such abbreviations: http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache...r&lr =lang_en http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache...r&lr=lan g_en http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache...r&lr= lang_en http://www.epa.gov/wtc/demolish_deco...e-comments.pdf http://www.hsrd.ornl.gov/NRC/reviews/92il_rev.pdf Hope this helps.
