Spelling/Grammar check on a novel

[Quadrillion]

I tried Googling this problem and could find nothing.

I'm trying to spell/grammar check a 200,000 word document done in Word 2002. You cannot do it all in one day. I was amazed to learn that Word seems unable to retain a record of items I told it to ignore. I cleared fifty pages or so of F7 questions, and when I went back a week or so later, it began to bring up some of the same problems I had already cleared. I don't believe telling it to "Ignore All" is the answer. What if I tell it to "ignore all" fragments, and then F7 retains my selection, virtually nullifying the grammar check.



You'd think there would be a selection for "Ignore all future occurrences of this specific problem on this particular page."

Strangely enough, I tried a test: the exact document, side by side (different name). When I told Word to ignore a problem on one document, it ignored it on the other one as well. So I was afraid to test "ignore all" on either document.

Best solution so far is to make a note of the page I was on when I quit the F7 check for the day. This is not an ideal solution.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
