I know how to use the automatic capitalizations. And I do not want to turn off these features. But I have a word (word combination) that is capitalized correctly.

Irish Setter.

Word believes the setter should not be capitalized. However, in my usage - it must be capitalized as it is a specific setter being discussed.

Even if I am wrong - I should be allowed to do what I want with this one word.



I have the option to ignore it once - or ignore the rule. These only work in the current document. As soon as I open a new document - I have the same issue.

There must be a way I can set this as a permanent "ignore". I have added Setter to my custom dictionary. I have added it to the exception list in options.

When I do spell/grammar check - it does not tell me the word is misspelled - it tells me about capitalization rules.

Thank you! Frustrated!

I would set Irish Setter (possibly with a non-breaking space) as an AutoText entry. First though select it and under the Review tab > Language set it to not check spelling or grammar. This is like character formatting.

I have a character style with this attribute that I use for citations in legal briefs.

Then save it as an AutoText entry so you won't have to go through this every time.

As far as I know, there is no other way to turn off grammar rules for just one word.

All I can suggest is type Irish Setter, select it and then use the Language Settings, Do not check spelling or grammer to the text. Then with the text still selected, create and autocorrect entry to auto correct your normal typing Irish Setter with the selected text.

Great ideas! I had done at least one of the suggested. An just did the others. You both had similar suggestions.

More: This seems to be perfect going forward. I opened a new doc - typed irish setter and it auto corrected to Irish Setter - but more important, it is no longer telling me it is wrong!

Life going forward will be much better.

Any idea how to make it effecting in past documents? I tried find replace for Irish Setter and replace with Irish Setter. Thinking the new version would take over.

Worst case - I ignore the rule in past documents. At least going forward I am set.

thank you both for that!! Less Frustrated!
