SYMPTOMS
When you spell check a document that has revisions, the speller replaces an
incorrect word with a correctly spelled one, but then identifies the newly
inserted word as misspelled.
CAUSE
You highlighted a portion of a word and replaced it with another word. The
speller will detect and replace the misspelled word with a correctly
spelled one but the newly corrected word, in combination with the portion
of the revised word that is struck-through, creates another misspelled
word. This is why the spell checker remains on the screen; it has detected
that this new combination of letters creates another misspelled word.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the
beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
WORKAROUND
Select entire words, instead of portions of words, to revise.
