Word 2007 spell checker and non-breaking hyphens

J

John9999

Is there a way to set the Word 2007 spell checker to treat non-breaking
hyphens like regular hyphens?

It will not allow me to select Ignore All for a word with a non-breaking
hyphen, nor will it add them to the custom dictionary. It forces me to accept
each occurance of the same word individually.

Thank you,
John

Hi John,

We released a fix for the Office 2007 speller in June. With the following
patches, the Word 2007 spelling checker now correctly handles words that
contain non-breaking hyphens. The KB article for the first patch is KB 972563
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972563), and it needs its Word part of the
fix that is delivered via the Word KB article (KB 970942 -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970942/).

You problem should be solved once you install these two patches.

I hope it helps.

Best wishes,

Hi Thierry,

Thank you so much for responding. I am glad there are patches available.

However, I cannot seem to install them. I keep getting a message saying
there was a problem unzipping a file and that Error 40 occured.

Thank you for your time,
John
