How do I turn off the rule that prompts me to spell check
footnotes?
Some people in our offic get it and some people don't.  I
want it off for everyone.

when I use the spelling-check, Word mixes up the reference-languages every
other word. I am writing my text in German and Word highlights every other
word, because all of a sudden it decides to use the Italian, English or

a word 2000 or 2002 doc. grammar check is supposed to find
them, but it seems to do so very erratically. please help!

Sometime in the last few weeks, Word 2000 has started erasing the
entries in my custom dictionaries.
I had built up those dictionaries over a couple of years, and there
are several, including some specialized for particular types of

If this has been asked before, I apologize, but why can't Word (and other
applications, as well) assume that a capitalized word in the middle of a
sentence is a proper name and not spell check it?

We have not been able (under Jaguar or Panther) to "Control, Click" on a

Any suggestions?

I use a German version of Windows 200 and Office 2000. I
