SYMPTOMS
When you create a document in Microsoft Publisher 2000 that contains symbols as well as text, any word that contains a symbol is marked as misspelled even if you click Ignore All when you use the spelling checker to check the spelling of the document.

NOTE: This behavior may not occur when you format the document in a language other than English.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because Publisher 2000 does not interpret all symbols correctly.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue:


 * 1) Highlight to select the word that is marked as misspelled.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, point to Language, and then click Set Language.
 * 3) In the Language box, click (no proofing), and then click OK.

NOTE: The spelling checker does not check the spelling of words that you designate for no proofing.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Publisher 2000.



MORE INFORMATION
If the symbol that you include in a word is a quotation mark, the spelling checker works properly.
