Odd problem with Word 2007 ??

Jon_01

For some reason the 'Ignore All' option for exempting the spelling of words is suddenly playing up?
It'll work on a word for a few pages and then start saying its misspelt again (red underline) and I have to 'ignore all' again.

After I've saved and restarted the next day none of the 'ignore all' words are recognised if I use them again, but aren't red lined in the text that was saved, as if it remembers them in the body of the doc but not when entered again?

I've tried cut and pasting all the text into a new doc, but it's still not working as it used to?
I've tried saving as a docx and as Word 97/2003 still no change?

Have I somehow switched something off somewhere ? I'm aware of any changes I've made to anything?
The other odd things that sometimes happens that might be connected, is that it'll start to red underline before I finish typing a word instead of waiting for the space at the end?

If they are words you type regularly have you tried 'add to dictionary?'

Change how the spelling checker works in the background

While you work in a document, the spelling checker can work in the background, searching for mistakes. As a result, when you finish the draft that you are working on, the check spelling process goes faster. This can save you time, especially with large documents.


To view and change these options, you must first display the proofing options. After you do this, you can view and change the settings described in the following sections.

Select or clear the Check spelling as you type check box

In most cases, you should leave the Check spelling as you type check box selected. Some reasons you might want to clear this check box include the following:

You want to hide spelling mistakes (the wavy red lines) in Microsoft Office Outlook items that you are editing.
You are using a computer that runs slowly because of hardware limitations (for example, because of lack of memory or CPU speed) or software limitations (for example, because you run a lot of large programs at the same time).

Select or clear the Hide spelling errors check box (wavy red lines)

Clear the Hide spelling errors check box if you want your Microsoft Office program to flag spelling mistakes automatically while you type. Clearing this option gives you confidence that you won't have to resolve a lot of spelling mistakes when you are about to finish your document. Your Microsoft Office program flags misspelled words while you work, so that you can easily see them, as in this example.
