If I understand correctly, our correspondent is saying Word won't
remember misspellings across sessions. Was the offending word added to
the word processor's dictionary? That's the only way Word will ever
remember anything, once it's been shut down and reopened.
I think we had a post here a while back, where the Word dictionary
wasn't functioning as it ought.

As far as I know, the only instance when the spell checker will remember
words is if you click ignore or ignore all.
I've never came across the problem you have that when I shut down the
computer and turn it on again, that the same words appears . But I can
remember from reading word's help file that when you click ignore or
ignore all or press alt+I or alt+g, that the spell checker temporarily
ignores that word. If you then want the spell checker to display the
words you previously clicked ignore on, you have to go into the tools
menu, into the options dialogue, into the spelling tab. There you will
find a button that says: recheck document, something like that, then
word will then recheck the whole document for errors including the words
you previously clicked ignore on. So I think where you have gone wrong:
you should have per accident press alt+g or alt+I without noticing that
you are actually clicking the ignore button and that's probably why
word again displays those words as errors when you restart the computer.
You can add words to the spelling dictionary which is not actually
mistakes such as names the spell checker doesn't recognize. Press
alt+a for add. Then the spell checker will no longer see that word as a
mistake. hth

Subject: Jaws 8 Word 2003 a problem with the spell checker
Hi List,
I am using Jaws 8.0 with Word 2003. My problem is when I use the
spell checker and go through the entire document, close out Word and
shut off the computer, later go back into Word do another spell
check, it finds the same miss spelled words. But if I don't shut off
the PC and go back into Word the spell checker does remember what was
previously done. Is there a setting in Word so it will remember the
previous spell check?
Much thanks everybody.
Louis
