WD98: Using the Spelling Checker to Flag Specific WordsLast reviewed: February 19, 1998Article ID: Q179702 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYIf you want the spelling checker to highlight words that the main dictionary recognizes as being spelled correctly, but that you want questioned during a spelling check, you must create an exclude dictionary. Using an exclude dictionary allows you to specify preferred spellings for certain words. For example, if you prefer "theatre" rather than "theater," add "theater" to the exclude dictionary so that Word will pause if it finds "theater" during a spell check and will prompt you for the correct spelling. Once you create an exclude dictionary, Word uses it automatically with the main dictionary. If you want to check spelling without using the exclude dictionary, rename the exclude dictionary before you check spelling in a document.
MORE INFORMATIONTo create an exclude dictionary, follow these steps:
NOTE: Keep in mind that Word does not question single letters even though you have placed them in your exclude dictionary. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
