Keep your name from looking like a spelling mistake (video) Jennifer Bost 22 Mar 2011 9:00 AM Comments 2

Does your name appear as a spelling mistake in Word? Then you're not alone. As part of our Call-to-Action campaign, I recently asked our Microsoft Student Facebook friends to share their Word pet peeves. And this pet peeve was top of the list. Luckily, there's a quick fix. 

Watch this 1-minute video where I show you how to add and delete words from the spell check dictionary. By the way, these same steps work for Access, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, Project, Publisher, and Visio.

To learn more about the spell check dictionary:

Read Add words to your spell check dictionary (Office 2010) or Add words to your spelling checker dictionary (Office 2007). If you want to check spelling and grammar mistakes in a different language, take a look at ¿Es correcto? Office checks your spelling in other languages. Of if you just don't want to see these red and green lines in your document, you can always hide spelling and grammars errors.

We just posted a new Call-to-Action question about Office Web Apps. Take this poll over on the Microsoft Student Lounge! The poll closes on March 25, 2011.

If you have ideas for future poll questions, leave a comment below or post your question on the Microsoft Student Facebook page. Your responses will appear in a future blog post.

Great post, Jenn!

Many of my coworkers call me "Annelids," which Word suggests as a replacement for "Anneliese."

An annelid is defined as any segmented worm of the phylum Annelida, including earthworms and leeches. How cool and appropriate is that?!?

Anneliese, that is hilarious. I'm guessing this is the only reason I will ever know anything about an annelid. Fascinating! Funny story, I discovered a Facebook fan page dedicated to spell check suggestions on how folks should rewrite their name. It's pretty colorful and humorous.
