When correcting spelling in Microsoft Office programs

Ignore words in UPPERCASE - Ignore words in which all letters are uppercase. For example, if you select this option, the spelling checker does not flag ABC as a mistake.
Ignore words that contain numbers - Ignore words that contain numbers. For example, if you select this option, the spelling checker does not flag a1b2c3 as a mistake.
Ignore Internet and file addresses - Select this check box if you want Word to automatically ignore Internet addresses (e.g. https://bettersolutions.com), file names (e.g. C:\temp\File1.doc) and electronic mail addresses (e.g. enquiry@bettersolutions.com) during a spelling check.
Flag repeated words - Ignore repeated words. For example, if you select this option, the spelling checker does not flag beep beep as a mistake.
Enforce accented uppercase in French - Alert you to French words that contain uppercase letters that are missing an accent mark. When you are using the French (Canadian) dialect, by default this option is always turned on, because the dictionary for this language includes the accented uppercase form of words in this language.
Suggest from main dictionary only - Suggest words only from the main dictionary that is built into the spelling checker. If you select this option, words from your custom dictionaries are not included in the list of suggested words when you check the spelling of a document.
Custom dictionaries - Lists the currently active custom user dictionaries. Word uses the listed custom dictionaries, in addition to the main spelling dictionary, when you run the spelling checker. When you click Add during a spelling check, Word adds the entry to the currently selected dictionary in the Custom dictionary list. To change the Custom dictionary list, click Dictionaries. Activates, creates, edits, adds, or removes custom dictionaries. If a custom dictionary appears in the Custom dictionary list on the left, it is already activated.
