Adding a new rule to spelling
I design Database's, & because I hate %20's in names that get on the web, I
use the "_" character in field names, table names, or anything that I've used in describing or naming data objects. I like to make these things easy to read. I like easy to read. The problem is with Word 2003 is that it flags anything with the underscore as a spelling error. I'm not real happy trying to put every one of these special "words" into the custom dictionary.....but wondered if there is a simple way to catch all words that contain the underscore...and just ignore them. I'm also not able to upgrade to 2007....my current status is "un-employed" & new software is not an option these days...at least here in Michigan... I tried the quick & easy "*_*" but as expected, that did not work. I'm OK with writing something in VBA if that is required, but off the top, I'm not exactly sure where to start in the Word document model. Any clues? ??? Interesting that "VBA" is not a "standard" word in the official dictionary... |

Adding a new rule to spelling
You can create a character style, set the "Do not check spelling or grammar"
option, and apply the style to text that you don't want to be spell-checked. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "setirich" wrote: I design Database's, & because I hate %20's in names that get on the web, I use the "_" character in field names, table names, or anything that I've used in describing or naming data objects.
