Notice kWh exist whilst kW/h do not exist and no warning appears in MS Word.
Conversely GWh exist and MS Word ENG version underlines it as misspelling
suggesting MHz instead which in fact exists but has nothing to do with energy
units.

Hi Miguel

It is slightly different in Word 2003 UK English.

Both 3 kWh and 3 kW/h are accepted. Neither 3 GWh nor 3 GW/h are accepted
and have red underlines though 3 GHz is suggested as a correction!
