MS Office Helpful Stuff: THAT'S NOT MISSPELLED!
This post should really be subtitled:
Obnoxious Things in MS Office
Ever since I can remember I've had trouble with my name. I mean... Demetrius isn't exactly common. It's a bit longer than average and there are a few more than 17 fafillion ways you could spell it. As a kid I couldn't ever order the personalized pencils from the Cheerios box because there was an eight letter maximum for the name. Life as a Demetrius is rough at times.
Apparently MS Office had a problem with my name too. In older versions of the Office Suite, my name would get the red ziggy-zaggy underline treatment despite the fact that I know how to spell my name. Kind of obnoxious...
So basically, the way the spell check works in Microsoft Office is like this: MS Office has a built-in dictionary which is used by the entire MS Office Suite. When the spell check is run, it compares what you have typed against what appears in the dictionary. If it can't find what you've typed in the dictionary, the word gets flagged as "misspelled" even though it may be spelled correctly (e.g. Demetrius). On a side note, when I would right-click my red ziggy-zaggy underlined, properly spelled name, the spell check would suggest Demerits and Dementia. Draw your own conclusions.
To be fair, Microsoft has updated the dictionary and my first name is no longer a problem.The same cannot be said for my last name. Nor should it. The name Branca is not nearly common enough to warrant inclusion in the standard dictionary. But it is definitely common enough for me to include in MY dictionary.
So every time I sit down at a new computer and see Branca with the red ziggy-zaggy underline, I simply right-click it and choose Add to Dictionary. You only have to do that once because all of the MS Office Applications use the same
