WD: Reset Ignore All Button Doesn't Reflect Ignore Options

ID: Q106656

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0
• Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a

SUMMARY

The availability of the Reset Ignore All button under Ignore in the Spelling Options dialog box is unrelated to the status of the adjacent Words In UPPERCASE and Words With Numbers check boxes.

The Reset Ignore All button corresponds to the list Word creates when you click Ignore All while running the spelling checker.

To open the Spelling Options dialog box, click Options in the Tools Spelling dialog box, or click Options from the Tools menu and then select the Spelling tab.

MORE INFORMATION

The Reset Ignore All button under Ignore in the Spelling Options dialog box clears the list of words for which you chose the Ignore All button during the current Word session. This button becomes available only after you click Ignore All while running the spelling checker. When you click Ignore All, Word builds a list that it uses for later spelling checking operations in the current Word session. Word automatically clears this list when you quit the program, but if you want to clear the list without exiting Word, click Reset Ignore All.
