Is there a way to set the Word 2007 spellchecker to treat non-breaking
hyphens like regular hyphens?

It will not allow me to select Ignore All for a word with a non-breaking
hyphen, nor will it add them to the custom dictionary. It forces me to accept
each occurance of the same word individually.

Thank you,
John

I don't have 2007 available to check, but Ignore All is no problem in 2008
nor have I encountered the problem in other versions. Perhaps 2007 does
something differently. The Add button is also active.

Perhaps you'd do better to ask in one of the PC Word groups - this one
focuses on the Mac versions. You'll find them here:
