Re: Why doesn't 2003 version of Word recognize spellchecking from 200.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Word has no way to force you to
spell-check your document, and checking spelling does not set any kind of
flag to tell Word that spell checking has been done. If what you mean is
that "Check spelling as you type" is marking as misspelled words that you
have told it to ignore, then this frequently happens even if you just close
and reopen a document.

If you really want Word not to mark them as misspelled, you can either add
them to the dictionary or format them as "Do not check spelling or grammar."
For documents that have already been spell-checked, a quick way to hide
"errors" is to check the box for "Hide spelling errors in this document" on
the Spelling & Grammar tab of Tools | Options.
