Word 2003 Not Ignoring Words in Uppercase

[Marilyn]

Hello,

I posted this question last month but never received an answer and I still
have a user experiencing the following:

In Word 2003 user goes to the Spelling & Grammar tab and checks the "Ignore
Word in Uppercase" and "Ignore Words with Numbers" however, Word cannot seem
to retain these settings since he has to go back to the Spelling & Grammar
tab and recheck those options again each time he opens Word.

Is this the norm in Word 2003?

Any help/suggestion is always appreciated.

It is not the norm, but Word 2003 in particular has the random bad habit of
losing some settings stored in the Settings sub key of the Word Data key in
the registry. You may be able to fix it (at least temporarily) by deleting
the Data key and allowing Word to build a new one, but it may not last. To
create a permanent fix add the following lines to both an autoopen and an
autonew macro to normal.dot

With Options
.IgnoreUppercase = True
.IgnoreMixedDigits = True
End With
