I didn't realize this was an actual word, but the Expert let me know that it is so the spellchecker is working as it should. This is what I needed to know. Thanks.

FYI<br />
It is possible to force Word to flag words in the main dictionary as misspelt by adding them to the text file ExcludeDictionaryXXnnnn,le<wbr />x in the folder <br />
C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Micro<wbr />soft\Uproo<wbr />f<br />
<br />
where XXnnnn is the language identifier

In Word 2010, in the attached document, the word &quot;position&quot; is spelled &quot;Positon&quot; and the spell checker fails to flag it. Why is it not flagging this misspelled word? I did the spellcheck reset, the word is not added to any of the dictionaries, and my Language checker is set to US English.<br />

document with misspelled word that spell check won't catch

SpellCheck.docx

In Word 2010, in the attached document, the word "position" is spelled "Positon" and the spell checker fails to flag it. Why is it not flagging this misspelled word? I did the spellcheck reset, the word is not added to any of the dictionaries, and my Language checker is set to US English.

Thanks

Word 2010 not catching misspelled word

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.
