Keep your name from looking like a spelling mistake (video)

Does your name appear as a spelling mistake in Word? Then you're not alone. As part of our Call-to-Action campaign, I recently asked our Microsoft Student Facebook friends to share their Word pet peeves. And this pet peeve was top of the list. Luckily, there's a quick fix. 

• Right-click the word and then click Add to Dictionary.

If you're fingers were a little too click happy and you accidentally added a misspelled word into your dictionary, here's a quick video showing you how to delete words from the spell check dictionary. By the way, these same steps work for Access, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, Project, Publisher, and Visio.

To learn more about the spell check dictionary:

• Read Add words to your spell check dictionary (Office 2010) or Add words to your spelling checker dictionary (Office 2007).
• If you want to check spelling and grammar mistakes in a different language, take a look at ¿Es correcto? Office checks your spelling in other languages.
• Of if you just don't want to see these red and green lines in your document, you can always hide spelling and grammars errors.

If you've got a pet peeve you'd like to share with us, leave a comment. We're always looking for feedback on what you're trying to do with Office products.
