Re: How do I exclude a word from always capitalized words?

Suzanne,

Adding 'meta' to the custom dictionary was the first thing I tried. It makes
no difference. 'meta' is in both my custom dictionary and my list of
autocorrect words to ignore. My suspicion is that this capitalization feature
of Word does not use either list. The curious thing is that despite extensive
searching, I have not been able to find mention of this 'some words must
always be capitalized' feature in the Microsoft Help or on their web site.

I also tried calling a professional PC help service: they can easily
replicate the problem, but they have no way of removing the specific word.
Their only suggestion was to turn the grammar check feature off.
