Anyway to always check the spelling of a correctly spelled word?

[Guest]

I'm always mixing up the spelling of similar words such as "form" and "from".
Anyone know a trick that will force word (and me) to spellcheck correctly
spelled words? Thanks!

Another trick is to know the words you regularly misspell, and do a "FIND"
for that misspelled word. Find them all to be sure you have the right one.
(You could use find/replace, but be sure to look at each one individually, so
you don't change one that was meant to be that way.)

The problem is that Word doesn't really "read" your document. It's a lot
easier when the misspelled word doesn't spell another word. My frequent
problem is when my nails get too long, "you" becomes "ypu". Don't ask me
why - it just does.

When the mispelled word doesn't spell another word, you put it into
AutoCorrect....

Not me - that's how I know it's time to get the nails cut back.
