WD2000: Spelling Checker Ignores Wild Card Characters (193710)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q193710 SYMPTOMS
Using ? and * inside a word does not return a list of suggested alternate
spellings.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Word.
MORE INFORMATION
In earlier versions of Word, the wild card characters can be substituted
inside words to represent unknown letters. The spelling checker offers a
list of suggestions that contain spellings using alternate characters at
those locations. This functionality was dropped in Office 2000.
NOTE: The "Always suggest corrections" check box (on the Tools menu, point
to Options, and click the Spelling & Grammar tab) must be selected for
earlier versions to display this functionality.
