Additional Spell Checker Options

[Guest]

Under certain conditions the Word Spell Checker identifies a “possible
problem†and then offers only an “Ignore Once†option. The same “possible
problem†will then be identified again if any change is made within the
containing paragraph. This appears to occur especially with items such as
strings of special characters.

It is annoying when the “possible problem†is not actually a problem, but
something that I specifically intended. I would like the Spell Checker to
offer additional options such as “Ignore This Occurrence†and “Always
Ignoreâ€. The “Ignore This Occurrence†would turn off repeated flagging of
the questionable item, but flag any other occurrences of the item. The
“Always Ignore†would turn off flagging of every occurrence of the specified
item within the document.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?YnJ5?=,

item within the document.

Most recent versions of Word already have both these choices in the dialog box that
appears when you run the full spell check (F7).

Ignore All is also available when you right-click on a "misspelling" that
has been marked by "Check spelling as you type."
