Default Using wildcards in the custom.dic

Hello,
I want to add an entry to the custom.dic that will cause the spell checker
to ignore the spelling of any word that has the underscore character in it. I
think I could do this using the wildcard character, but I can't seem to find
a 'wildcard' that works.

For example, I want Word to NOT check the spelling of any of the following
strings: id_enable, grep_should_pass, clk_is_blocked, cntr_load_en, and so
forth.

I've tried adding *_* to custom.dic and ?_? but the spell checker still
insists on saying that any word with an underscore is mis-spelled.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Is there an approach to solving this
other than using an entry in the custom.dic?

Thanks,
Dan
