I find myself at:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA101473031033.aspx

where I click "Learn how to force spelling checker to flag specific words as
misspelled using exclusion dictionaries". This dumps me into:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/ExcludeWordFromDic.htm

which says “Note: This article is for Word 2003 and earlier only. Exclusion
dictionaries are created quite differently in Word 2007, as described in
_this article_.

Clicking “this article†dumps me back where I started.

Yes, this is very unfortunate, and I thought that the problem had been
solved by an update of the word.mvps.org article. Unfortunately not, it
appears, but I've just put the re-revised article up at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/ExcludeWordFromDic.htm

What happened was that the article at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA101473031033.aspx at one time
included detailed instructions for Word 2007. When I saw this, I figured
that, instead of reinventing the wheel, I'd just link to that article in
mine. That was the "revised for 2007" article that got published at
word.mvps.org. Then I discovered (as you have) that the MS article was just
linking to ours (even the Word 2007 Help file is linking to our article).
Yikes!

Luckily, using the WayBack Machine, I was able to find the earlier version
of the MS article to use in revising mine, which I sent to the word.mvps.org
Webmaster. Unfortunately, an explosion in his apartment building had
excluded him from the building and his computer, and he was unable to
publish the re-revised article. This happened back in February, and meantime
I had forgotten entirely about it until the issue came up in another thread
today.
