This article was previously published under Q212075





SYMPTOMS
The grammar checker and the spelling checker do not identify "that that" or "had had" as repeated words. This behavior is different from that of earlier versions of Microsoft Word.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Word. The grammar checker and the spelling checker recognize that these two words can be repeated within a sentence. Although such constructions are not grammatically correct in the strictest sense, they are generally accepted in colloquial English.

Additional query words: repeat spell checker spelling that had grammar
