Hi, I'm looking for suggestions to a problem others must have have faced. In spell-checking a long document, I'd like not to have to have nearly every author's name come up. With EN, they are nearly all in square brackets or a substitute delimiter, so maybe it's possible to avoid spell checking them. I use EN+2.0 on a Mac with WP 3.1, but there may be generic solutions that may apply. A macro to kill or replace everything inside each "[ ]" in a copy of the document is easy, but one wants to correct the original document, not a cut-up copy. Maybe all the mispellings could be stashed in a list during the spell-check operation on the cut-up copy and later used to global find-replace in the original doc? Seems like a kluge.... Thanks for any suggestions! Ron Larkin -- Ron Larkin (r-larkin@uiuc.edu) Illinois Natural History Survey, Champaign IL 61820
