Flag+words+misspelled+in+context+only

In some situations you may find yourself using a word that is correctly spelled but incorrect in the context.
 * Flag words misspelled in context only **

Homophones, such as __stationary__ and __stationery,__ or __advice__ and __advise,__ can be confusing, all the more so because the spelling checker will not always flag their misuse.

In addition, if you tend to overuse a word, you may want Word to alert you so that you can change it on certain occasions.

A solution to both issues is to exclude the problematic words so that the tool will flag them. To exclude one or more words, you must add them to the Word exclusion file, which is already created for you and installed with Word 2007 and 2010.

Start by searching for ExcludeDictionaryEN*.lex using Windows Search.

In the search results, you will find multiple files, one for each English variant. The four-digit code in each filename tells you which .lex file belongs to which language variant. For example, 0409 is for the United States, and 0809 is for the United Kingdom.

In Windows Explorer, open the folder containing the exclusion files. Right-click the ExcludeDictionaryEN*.lex file for the first language variant you use, and choose Open With, then WordPad.

Type the words to exclude, one per line, and click Save.

Repeat for any other language variants that you use. Close and reopen Word. In the future, when you type any word that is in the exclude dictionary file, Word will flag it as a spelling error.


 * __Note:-__**

Take care to click only “**__Ignore Once”__**--not “Ignore All”, or “Add To Dictionary” , to move past the word when you are using the “Spelling and Grammar” dialog box.

Otherwise, the spelling checker will not flag the word as a misspelling in the future.
