Is there a way to ignore repeated words in the spell checker
Applying the spell checker to a technical document, where numbers are repeated
aeveral times on the same line ( i.e 0.000 0.000 0.000), the repeated words are flagged. How can I set the spell checker so repeated words are ignored automatically ( not having to ignore it one by one) |

The simplest way without diluting the effectiveness of Spelling & Grammar is
to use the Tab key to separate the groups of figures rather than the Spacebar. That will also work much better to maintain consistent spacing, especially if there are columns of figures to be aligned, such as: 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 LOL |:) "Jpeled@pw" wrote: Applying the spell checker to a technical document, where numbers are repeated aeveral times on the same line ( i.e 0.000 0.000 0.000), the repeated words are flagged.

This does not solve my problem, since I can't replace the spaces with Tabs.
Is there another way to ignore repeated word?

Unfortunately I can find no specific option for this aspect of the Spell
Check. There is a feature which pertains to words with numbers, but evidently considers only words containing a mixture of letters and digits. It seems to have no effect on digit-only strings. The only other thing I can come up with for now is only practical if your 'repeaters' are consistantly the same groups of digits. If so, you could create a Custom dictionary for them. If these values are random that would be a thankless task. Perhaps one of the MVPs has a trick up his/her sleeve, so continue to check back. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. BTW- If I might ask, why is it that tabs cannot be used? LOL |:) "jpeled@pw" wrote: This does not solve my problem, since I can't replace the spaces with Tabs.

If the "repeated words" are all numbers, check (at least temporarily) the
box for "Ignore words with numbers" on the Spelling & Grammar tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.
