Words Uppercase how to Spell Check

Depending on how Microsoft Word 2003 is configured, the spellchecker may ignore uppercase words. the reason is that Microsoft Word 2003 thinks uppercase words mean proper names, acronyms, etc., and thus will not be found in normal dictionaries.

However, you may wish to force it to check uppercase words for proper spelling.

Or, you may wish to turn on the spellchecker for uppercase words because you may commonly mistype acronyms or names; by adding acronyms or names into the user dictionary, whenever (or if) they are later misspelled, Microsoft Word 2003 can notify you.

From the Top Toolbar Select ʺToolsʺ ‐ ʺOptionsʺ.

When the ʺOptionsʺ multi‐tabbed dialog box appears,

select ʺSpelling & Grammarʺ tab.

Uncheck ʺIgnore words in UPPERCASEʺ.

Click ʺOKʺ to close the dialog box.
