Hello, newbie here



Ive had this problem for ages, when Im passing the spelling and grammar checker I tend to misspell the same words in the same way. Now, the checker doesnt suggest any of the correct words for my misspellings. Example

(spanish)

I type "d ela" when what I want is "de la" but the suggestion box at the right never suggests "de la", how can I add as a suggestion "de la", and how can I add similar cases for misspellings when the right word isnt in the suggested box, so next time the checker encounters that word, suggests exactly what I want?

Not sure if I made myself completely clear, let me know if I have to explain further

Is the correct language applied to text (Spanish in your example)?

yep, most of the checking is done right, but there are some words or combination of words that I tend to miss-spell that the software hasnt "learned" or added to the suggestion box. This turns out to be really labour intensive because I have to correct the typo manually for every word

hers a screen of an example, as you can see the proper word I want on the right "de la" doesnt appear. I want to be able to add words for misspelings so I dont have to type the word every time

You can add the missing words to the custom dictionary.

Ive tried that but still doesnt add those words as suggestions

Since you are trying to deal with a specific misspelling, do the following instead: Add the incorrect spelling as an AutoCorrect entry, with the correct phrase as a replacement. Click File tab | Options | Proofing. Click the AutoCorrect Options dialog box. On the AutoCorrect tab, enter the common error and its replacement. Click Add to create the entry.
