Re: Two correctly spelled words separated by ")"

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


Just an idea: if you run a spelling check with "Check_grammar" checked,
Word flags "spacing" unless it is a mathematical operator (It works
with ")" but not with "*" for instance). Does this help?

'Herb Tyson [MVP Wrote:

consulted some
others, and our best guess is that this is allowed so that things such
as
f(x) and f(y) aren't flagged as misspellings (at least not due to the
parentheses... the solitary f, x, and y are flagged as errors here). It

would be nice if there were an explicit option to treat embedded
punctuation
marks as errors, but there's no such option at present.

Not sure what the generic summary should be, so here's the example -
users
can type something like:

application)please

- no spaces between the words and the ")" - and Word doesn't pick this
up
as
a misspelling - like it's treating the parentheses as a space. Is
there a
setting in Word to change or fix this issue of a character in the
middle
of
two correctly spelled words not being picked up as a misspelling?
Thank
you. -
