Ignore email addresses

L

Word's flanging of email addresses as misspellings drives me crazy.

An email on a line by itself is not flagged as in:
(e-mail address removed)

An email w/ a word before or after is is not flagged as in:
Test (e-mail address removed) for group


BUT as soon as you add punctuation it IS flagged, as in:
(e-mail address removed), for group
The list is: (e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed) (the aaa email is flagged,
not the ccc)

I often put a list of emails in my doc. Is there any way to select
the group and have Word ignore them all?

In Tools > Options > Spelling and Grammar (Word 2003) or Word Options >
Proofing (Word 2007), uncheck 'ignore internet and file addresses'. None of
your samples are then flagged in either version.

I think you ment "check" no "uncheck", regardless I already had it set
to ignore and as shown above it does not work for emails.

Sorry - that was a slip. I don't have Word 2000 to check, but it works in
both Word 2003 and 2007.
