Tammy, What I did recently for .zip, .cab, etc. in a doc, was to put a nonbreaking space (Ctrl+Space) in front, instead of a regular space. Now the spell checking goes right by them.
I'm not sure of the variable solution, though I suspect it would work, too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

When spell-checking my documents, I have a couple of quirky industry-specific terms as well as standard terms that are preceded by a period, like .PDF. Of course, when I run spell-check on my document, it flags these terms each and every time they are found, and I want to avoid this. I figured I would just make these terms a variable, but I swear there was more to this dicussion than something this simple - something about special key combinations (the zero key and ???) and other stuff is muddled in my mind, but then, I may be remembering incorrectly. If the simple answer was no more than to make these terms a variable, that's fine, but if I am missing more from the discussion than this, I would mind being refreshed/reminded about this as well and why it involved more than a variable.
