RE: Custom rules for words to not spell check
Hi Csaba Gabor,
Go to
Tools-->Options-->Sepllings & Grammer -->Custom Dictionaries-->Modify
Here a list of words will be shown that you already may have added.
Add an entry as $* in this list, this will enable Word to ignore all the
words starting from $. The * works as wild char here.
HTH,
use the following option to set this-

Wow! This is fabulous, thanks very much, and worked like a charm
for ignoring spell checking on words starting with a $
I'd like to ask some followup questions:
What wild cards do dictionaries know about and how do they work?
For example, I wanted to ignore auto_prepend_file so I added to
the custom dictionary *_* thinking that all words with an underscore
should be ignored. Didn't work. OK, I was too greedy. I'll try
auto_*. Still no luck. Fine. auto*. No dice. Finally putting
in the whole word, auto_prepend_file, took care of it.
Also, suppose I want to ignore all "words" which have a period
in them. That is, text delimited by white space on either end
and which has a dot (period) amongst the characters. e.g.
WScript.Shell and file.vbs
Thanks,
