The noun forms of proactive seem to be missing from the dictionary, at least
in Outlook 2003 spell check.

By the way, the last 2 don't sound like real words to me. Look them up in a
real dictionary.
 
Online research lists: Proaction (n); Proactive (adj.); proactively (adv.);
But as Mary suggests, add them to the custom dictionary if you must.
 
A more useful reply would have included instructions on adding words to the
custom dictionary. Where is it at and what is it called, for example. If
she knew how to add them to the custom dictionary, she probably would have.
 
Right-click a word that spell check has underlined with a squiggle, then choose Add to Dictionary.

The purpose of this message wasn't to ask for how to add words to the custom
dictionary, it was to ensure they were included in the next version of
Office's built-in dictionary.

By the way, I love the comment from Mary suggesting one should look them up
in a real dictionary. If she had followed her own advice she would have
found them therein.
