Spell checking

Post by John Gray »

Everytime I spell check "some time" in Word 2010 it wants to replace this phrase by "sometime". Is there a way of forcing the spell checker to allow this phrase? "Add to dictionary" works only for single words, as far as I can see... Thanks!

Hi John

Strange, I just tried it in 2003 and it accepts sometime as a correctly spelled word, does this article from Microsoft help at all Custom Dictionary]

It appears to depend on the context: "some time" isn't always flagged for me, but only in some situations:

Except for turning off grammar checking, I don't see a way of suppressing the warning.
