= SUMMARY =

When using the Utilities Spell command in Microsoft Word for DOS version 5.5 or Library Spell in Word version 5.0, a word can be automatically replaced with a different word. If this undesirable, you can load the file REMEM-AM.COR into Word from the Word directory, search for the line that contains both the old word and the new word,and delete that line.

For example, if a document contains the word “football,” and each time the spelling checker finds the word “football” it automatically replaces it with the word “soccer,” you can load REMEM-AM.COR, search for the line that contains the two words, and delete that line. In this example, the line to be deleted should appear as follows:

football -> soccer

Whenever you use the Spell Correct option to correct a word and the Spell Correct “remember correction:” field is set to Yes, the correction is recorded in the REMEM-AM.COR file. Each time the spelling checker finds a word that has a remembered correction, Word 5.0 replaces that word with the corrected word.
