#MICROSOFT WORD 2010 SPELL CHECK WONT CLOSE TRIAL#
Duck has an edit distance of one from luck, and trial and trail are also just one edit away.
Most word processors make suggestions using the concept of “edit distance”-basically the number of letters you have to change, add, delete, or switch to transform one word into another.
I also suspect the search-engine model would do a better job at suggesting the right word when you really did make an error. A word processor powered by search-engine spelling could handle overchicked just fine.) What would happen if Google’s search technology was ported into a word processor? First, the spell-checker would recognize the bulk of any document’s proper nouns (no more squiggly red line under DiCaprio) as well as any new terms the kids are using these days (Urban Dictionary tells me, for example, that overchicked is an adjective used to describe a man who is significantly less attractive than his female companion. If you type in Monkees, Google will assume you’re searching for the band Word will give you a red squiggly line, thinking you’ve screwed up the word monkeys. In other words, search engines put breadth first and spelling accuracy second while word processors are the other way around. This way, a program like Word can catch virtually every typo, even if it means misidentifying some proper names and newer words. Word processors are much more conservative, limiting their lexicon to words that are definitely legitimate. The latter has to field queries as broad and varied as the Internet itself, so it needs a very large vocabulary in order to differentiate spelling mistakes from legitimate search terms. What’s behind this disparity? Word processors and search engines have different goals. Live and Google recognize the term just fine, however, and can retrieve it as a correction for a basic misspelling like pharmung. Neither Microsoft Word nor the Google Docs spell-checker, the latter of which is based on an open-source tool called GNU Aspell, have heard of the word. Clear the Do Not Check Spelling or Grammar check box.For another example, take a reasonably new tech neologism like pharming.Choose Language from the Tools menu, then Set Language from the resulting submenu.If you are using Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003, the steps are slightly different: (Select a different language, such as one of the English variations.) In the language list at the left of the dialog box, make sure (no proofing) is not selected.Follow these steps to correct this problem in Word 97:
Next, if entire paragraphs are being ignored, it could be because proofing has been turned off for the paragraph.
