Microsoft Office 2003 Spell Check problem
Asked by ikelw in Windows 2000 Operating System, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Applications
Tags: 2000, office, spell, check, microsoft
The Problem I have is that the words in my document have no non-hyphenated correct-spelling alternative:
I'm not using words like "COUNTRY-FAIR" where both words are legitimate properly-spelled words - like that.
I'm using words where one is usually an okay spelled word, and the other is ONLY considered "spelled correctly" if it is hyphenated: With the below word - I ADDED it to the custom dictionary, and I still have problems:
The spell checker works to an extent for words on my project - but I find the spell checker is dumb when it comes to correcting words with hyphens or multiple hyphens in them - it treats the hyphen as a word-separator, and consequently, treats each portion of the special word, as a different word that is mispelled - it rarely ever treats the whole hyphenated word as a single object
Take a sample word: "EL-APT-EN" (which was added to custom dictionary) - now I have "ignore capitalized words" unchecked, because the words I deal with in this project are all capitalized... (yes these words are not traditional english hyphenated words, but Word should be able to recognize that because these words are hyphenated, they should be treated as a single entity, and corrected accordingly to the custom dictionary I have)
Now, (as seen in attached screenshot) if I mispell it EL-IPT-EN it only underlines "IPT" as being spelled incorrectly - it does not bridge the hyphens and underline the entire word like I want it to.
Likewise, it will only offer spelling suggestions for the "IPT" portion of the underlined word - it offers me "PIT" and other potential two to three letter spellings for this word, but it doesn't bridge the hyphen when it checks this word...
HELP!!!!! I want it to be able to recognize the ENTIRE hyphenated string as a single word, and also offer 'EL-APT-EN" as a suitable corrected spelling for the above misspelling "EL-IPT-EN"Start Free Trial
