jamesgott1 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hello everyone, I am writing an instruction book for my Taekwondo students. To translate some of the Korean words I have used phonetically spelled English words for example "Kyungnet (sounds like Kunray) means Bow". Unfortunately, there is no universally agreed way to "spell" these translations and consequently I have saved a few different versions of the phonetically spelled English version when I have right clicked and selected Learn Spelling. I would like to ensure that all my "mis-spelled" words are consistently spelled the same way. I guess sci-fi writers have a similar issue with strange names. Can I reset all the "Learn Spelling" en mass so I don't have to go through every word and Unlearn Learn Spelling? Thank you. By the way if you have any tips for strategies to deal with this in the future that would be great. Cheers. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I think that if you tell Publisher to "Ignore" the errors, rather than using "Learn", it will be isolated to the one document. Perhaps that will help for future documents.

jamesgott1 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Hi Walt, thank you for your reply. I've started using ignore instead. I went through my whole doc and undid learn on all the phonetic words, only took about 20 minutes in the end. I found a file with all the "learned" words but its in some sort of data base and my coding isn't up to writing an interpreter for it. In the future ill be more organised and make a list of all my phonetic spellings in advance. I am considering a Sci-fi story so this has been a good exercise anyway.
