Can Grammar Checker Ignore of a sentance in a document be saved

D

Some sentances in my document are being flagged as incorrect by the grammar
checker when in fact they are fine. I click Ignore Once which works fine
while to document is open; however, after I save the document and open it
again later these sentances are once again flagged as being incorrent. Is
there any way to get these ignores to be saved with the document short of
marking the sentance as one that should not be checked? I'm sure this worked
previously, but now I'm using Office 2007.

Select the sentence you wish not to check, Review tab, Proofing group, Set
Language, make sure that you select the language you are working in, check
the "Do Not Check Spelling or Grammar" box. Now that sentence will not be
checked after save/open.
If you want to do this a lot, create a Character style that has this Do Not
Check.. attribute, then you can quick select the text and apply this style.
Beware though, if like me, you have a tendency to select the whole document,
and turn this option off before doing a spell check, it will be checked again
;-)
Personally I prefer to see all possible errors in a document before I send
it out, even if the grammar check is incorrect.
Word Grammar check does really only give you a choice that something "maybe"
incorrect. Somethimes it tells you to change "is" for "are" which you do,
then the next check, it want to change that "are" for "is" back again. Not
often I grant you, but sometimes it reminds you that it is only a computer
program following rules that can be very incongruous.
Hope this helps
