Spell check hickups
I have Office 97. Some mispelled words don't come up as misspelled. For
example, "mssed". It is not in my custom dictionary or in the Auto Correct list. Where can I look to correct this, if anywhere? Thanks, Larry |

Spell check hickups
Hi Anne,
I have 98SE instead of XP, but same difference. Spell Check is working in that it does pick up many words, but not all. "Mssed" is one of them. Thanks, Larry "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...

Spell check hickups
Hmmm. Just checked "mssed" by typing it into a new Word 2003
document. Word 2003 immediately flagged it as misspelled. At least there is some spelling relief for you when you upgrade. It's of small consolation but you could use the AutoCorrect feature of Word to replace "mssed" with "missed" if you tend to misspell the word on occasion. Insert AutoText AutoText AutoCorrect tab Enter "mssed" in the Replace block and "missed" in the With block. Good luck. "Larry B" wrote in message ...

Spell check hickups
The version of Windows you have is irrelevant. There are several possible
reasons for spell check not to work in Word (generally or in specific documents), but when a specific misspelled word in a document is not flagged, the likelihood is that: 1. You have inadvertently added it to your custom dictionary. To check, access the dictionary (from the Spelling & Grammar tab of Tools | Options) and look for the word; delete if found. 2. The word is marked as "Do not check spelling or grammar" ("(no proofing)" in older versions). Select the word, then go to Tools | Language | Set Language and make sure that the correct language is selected and that "Do not check spelling or grammar" is not checked. While you're there, clear the check box for "Detect language automatically," which doesn't work well enough to be useful. You might also check to see whether the spelling checker flags "hickups." -- Suzanne S.

Spell check hiccups
Dear Suzanne,
#1- Already done, see original post. #2- W97 does not have the two check boxes in Set Language that you refer to. Could it just be a *hiccup* in the irrelevant Word 97 embedded dictionary?
