SYMPTOMS
When you check the spelling of English-language text in a 2007 Microsoft Office program, one of the following words is not recognized and is flagged as a possible misspelling:
 * Friendster
 * Klum
 * Nazr
 * Obama
 * Racicot



WORKAROUND
To prevent the 2007 Office programs from flagging an unrecognized word, add the word to the dictionary. To do this, perform one of the following actions:
 * Right-click the flagged word, and then click Add to Dictionary.
 * Click Add to Dictionary in the Spelling & Grammar dialog box.

When you add the word to the dictionary, the word is added to the Custom.dic dictionary file.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



MORE INFORMATION
Some words may not be in the English-language dictionary in the 2007 Office programs. When a word is not in the dictionary, the spelling checker tries to suggest words that have spellings that resemble the unrecognized word.

Occasionally, Microsoft updates the standard dictionaries. The words &quot;Friendster,&quot; &quot;Klum,&quot; &quot;Nazr,&quot; &quot;Obama,&quot; and &quot;Racicot&quot; are currently not in the English-language dictionary. When a word is the last name of a public figure, Microsoft also adds the first name of the public figure. Additionally, the word &quot;Barack&quot; will be added to the dictionary.

A hotfix will be released that will automatically add these words to the English-language dictionary. These words may also be added by using the workaround steps in this article.
