Many thanks for the leads, which I used. <br />
<br />
After working through the leads with various .docx documents, I discovered that the problem occured with only one paticular document.<br />
<br />
But that document is one that I use as a template, which means that &nbsp;'Add to dictionary' is disabled every time I use it and save it under a different name.<br />
<br />
So the solution is to create a new template!

When I key my own name into an MS Word 2010 .docx, it is underscored as a spelling error. <br />
<br />
But the autocorrection options don't include my name and the 'Add to dictionary' function is disabled.<br />
<br />
Plainly some settings are wrong. But I'm unable to figure out which ones. <br />
<br />
Help, experts, please.<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
