MS Office Forum / Word / Spelling and Grammar / April 2008Microsoft Office 2007 doesn't like Donna
Some recent change in the spell check engine causes something like "This is Donna' House" to be considered a spelling error. Only happens in Office 2007 products. Clicked send/post to soon... Meant "Donna's House". Typing "Donna's" causing a spell error notification in Office 2007. >Clicked send/post to soon... > >Meant "Donna's House". Typing "Donna's" causing a spell error >notification in Office 2007. Here, it's flagged as a spelling error in _both_ Word 2007 and Word 2003. If it's something you type often, it's two mouse clicks to add it to your dictionary (which you probably did long ago in a previous Word version and forgot). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. > Meant "Donna's House". Typing "Donna's" causing a spell error > notification in Office 2007. I get the same effect in Office 2003: "Donna owns Donna's house. I actually get the same effect in the spell checker in Thunderbird. In both cases, "Donna" is accepted. Maybe this is because "Donna" is the term for a Spanish or Portugese lady, so "Donna" by itself is a valid noun.
