Default Ignore email addresses

Word's flanging of email addresses as misspellings drives me crazy.

An email on a line by itself is not flagged as in:


An email w/ a word before or after is is not flagged as in:
Test
for group


BUT as soon as you add punctuation it IS flagged, as in:
, for group
The list is:
, (the aaa email is flagged,
not the ccc)

I often put a list of emails in my doc. Is there any way to select
the group and have Word ignore them all?





Using Word 2000

In Tools Options Spelling and Grammar (Word 2003) or Word Options
Proofing (Word 2007), uncheck 'ignore internet and file addresses'. None of
your samples are then flagged in either version.

I think you ment "check" no "uncheck", regardless I already had it set
to ignore and as shown above it does not work for emails.

Sorry - that was a slip. I don't have Word 2000 to check, but it works in
both Word 2003 and 2007.
