How to Exclude Certain Words from Spellcheck in Microsoft Word

A spelling exclusion list is a list of words you can force Word to flag as misspelled, even when they are listed in the main dictionary as correctly spelled words. We will show you how to add a custom list of words you want to always flag as misspelled.

Or perhaps you are following style guidelines and using specific spellings of words, such as “theatre” instead of “theater”.
