[mso] Adding word/name to spell checker in Excel 2000?

I use the name "Ballance" quite a lot in my Excel spreadsheets. Excel tries
stubbornly to change that to "Balance" which in this case is wrong.
"Ballance" is correct; it is how the family spelled their name. When I
attempt to add "Ballance" to the Spell Checker, it immediately self-corrects
to "Balance" and then adds it. Does anyone know how to explain to Excel I do
want the double L in the name?

Yes, the name is/was actually spelled with two Ls. I understand Excel's
confusion. I do not understand Excel's refusal to allow me to enter this
word/name though.

I probably now have a couple dozen of the word "Balance" which could be
removed save one. I am starting to think this will involve a reinstall, but
I hope not.

Thanks,

Robert
