Default Wriggly red underline

What is this please? I thought it was spelling error, but on the following



Coo Coo Roo Coo Coo Paloma

the second & fourth "Coo" is underlined, but not the others. Same spelling so that can't be it ?

Red normally indicates a spelling error that Word does not know/understand. I cannot tell you why the others are not flagged.

Maybe another poster can address further.

I tried to add "Coo" to the dictionary and the option was missing. Instead there was 'Delete repeated Word'.
So that's probably it... I can't see an option to 'Allow repeated Word'.
Ah well...

Thanks anyway

Word automatically flags repeated words as potential spelling errors. You can tell it to ignore them when doing a spell-check.
