It isn't in my spell-check dictionary... Are you the only user on your computer?

 

[Mike M]

Yes I am - a coworker just told me about it on his PC so I checked mine.

But you are correct, it does not show up on some others.

What would cause this? I certainly didn't add the word, and it is not in my
custom dictionary "custom.dic"

Have no clue why one computer would have the word and not others. It is strange.

Just out of curiousity, what is the correct way?

It's not in yours and it's not in mine.

Just out of curiousity, what is the correct way?

I was intrigued and tried my own copy of Word 2002. "Your's" is
definitely flagged as an error. I have one, probably far out,
suggestion: is it possible that more than one custom dictionary
is installed? It does not have to be called CUSTOM.DIC:
