I find it quite annoying when I'm working somewhere new that when I email people with unusual names (ones that aren't in Word's dictionary, or in my custom dictionary) they come up as mis-spellings because they're not in the dictionary.
Future versions of software should (optionally) include
your contacts as allowable nouns.

it should allow known companies too. |

Plus "New Curse Words" via continually updated link to the halfbakery idea. |

The more I think about this, the more I wonder why in the hell Word and Outlook don't do this already. After all, they come in the same box! Ah, well, there I go expecting things to make sense. |

[contracts] - 'shithouse' is in popular usage in Australia, so probably feeds in from there. |

it isn't global ? don't they both use MS Proof (i.e. custom.dic ? ) I was sure they did.. |

UnaBubba... I think he meant words that feature in dictionaries, but not your native language dictionary. In this day and age it's a complete nonsense to have to specify the language you're using.. just throw RAM and CPU at the problem and have full multilanguage checking. |

I'm pretty sure I have this. |
|
|
you mean it doesn't have a problem with you typing [....] ?
which program do you use ? |
|

You can add anything you want to the dictionary but it would be very nice to have it look across contact fields if a user wanted it set that way. |
