How can I eliminate phantom spelling errors?

I use Word for several hours every day and I push the limits a little with Dragon speech recognition software, extensive use 
of Word macros, and daily use of Review, Compare, Compare. Perhaps at least once a day I look in the document and see that “phantom” spelling errors have arisen. For example, I’m looking at a page presently in which the letters “andard” in the word “standard”
are underlined with the red wavy line. Similarly the “ic” in the word “quadratic” is underlined with the red wavy line, and the “erived” in the word “derived” is also underlined with the line.
I can make these red wavy lines disappear by simply pressing F7 to check the spelling, which (assuming there are no “real” spelling errors in the document) causes them to disappear and I get the message “The spelling check is complete.”.
The red wavy lines are distracting. Is there a way that I can make them permanently go away (without turning off automatic spell-checking)?
Thanks for your help,

Or, perhaps, you could alert the folks who produce Dragon Naturally Speaking since it seems to be a problem caused by their software? I believe that is Nuance.
BTW, I stopped using DNS a while back because I type faster than it would accept dictation and with fewer errors.
Thank you. That's a useful suggestion. However, I expect that the MS Word developers are very careful about preventing external programs from messing up Word (because Word gets blamed when this happens).  So there should be no way that a bug in
Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS) could cause phantom spelling errors in Word.  Or if there is a way, then the Word developers should make changes to Word so that this can no longer happen.  (I expect that the interface that Word exposes to other applications
is very carefully designed so that if the external applications do "bad" things, they can't cause Word to misbehave.  (They shouldn't even be able to "hang" Word, although DNS sometimes does that because it appears to be thrashing. 
But the problem goes away if I wait or if I kill DNS.)
Sorry to hear that DNS was too slow and error prone for you.  For me, if I enunciate clearly and speak in longer phrases, and use an approved microphone, a 10-or-15 word sentence is correctly typed as soon as I've finished saying it.  And talking
is much easier than typing, even though I've been touch typing for more than 40 years.
You do need a sufficiently modern CPU to use DNS because it's highly CPU-intensive.  They recommend a modern processor with 2 MB L2 cache.

  • How can I eliminate error in printing a cd jewel case cover in latest ITunes version?

    How can I eliminate the printing error in Itunes when attempting to print a cd jewel case cover?  I'm using the latest iTunes version. 

    I finally solved this problem after toiling with it for a couple of days.  Solution:  Once you have  burned your CD you must go back into iTunes to your music/playlists and select the playlist you just burned and click file; print and you will  get the mosaics that we have been accustomed to.  I was on hold with  Apple Support when I found this myself.  Yes......!!! Problem solved..for me anyway.  Good luck!

  • How can I eliminate quicktime error code 36

    How can I eliminate quicktime error code 36

    Hello,
    Error -36 stands for an I/O Error.
    File is not readable. You would need to generate a clean, error-free copy of the damaged file. Since some segments of the file are not readable, the best that can be done is to skip them.
    See: http://aeroquartet.com/movierepair/quicktime-errors

  • How can I eliminate delays in one NIC when there is traffic on second NIC

    Using LabVIEW TCP/IP VIs, my LV application is  accessing a database though a LAN, and  through a second NIC, it is controlling an instrument.  The instrument is connected directly to the computer NIC with a cross-over cable.  I have made a permanent route for the IP address of the instrument in the IP route table.  The LAN and the instrument have different subnet numbers.  Using a packet sniffer, I don't see any traffic meant for the LAN going to the NIC connected to the instrument.  The OS of the computer is Windows XP and the NICs are PCI cards.
    The message traffic to the instrument suffers from intermittent delays when there is traffic going to the LAN. 
    How can I eliminate the delays?  What could be the cause of the delays?  Thanks in advance for your recommendations and suggestions.

    Hi LabBard,
    Could you tell us a little more about the device that you are connected to? What you could try is to have a VI accessing the LAN, and a separate VI communicating with the instrument, and see how things play out.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • How can i set a global error page for all error cod

    how can i set a global error page for all error code?
    i don't want to leave a long list in the web.xml file.could any one help me?
    thanks

    If u have a common Error JSP named as ErrorPage.jsp
    You need to have the following piece of code in the JSP as :
    <%@ page isErrorPage ="true"%>
    This makes it as the Common Error Page for the Application. Now all you need to do is from other JSP's throw the Exception to teh container. The container will redirect to this Page and process accordingly.
    Thanks and regards,

  • How can I fix a time error on my MacBook?

    How can I fix a time error on my MacBook?

    If, after checking the settings in Sys Pref> Date/Time nothing really changes
    you could see if a reset of the NVRAM could help.
    Read carefully & when using the keyboard sequence, let the computer
    start tone sound three times, to be sure the reset has really occurred.
    •About NVRAM & PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Does the time gain by itself? Is the Time Server set to automatically
    keep the computer time corrected when you are online? You may
    also try the manual settings, if the computer had not been used in
    some time, because if the battery gets too low, the capacitor in a
    portable computer can also lose power, & NVRAM - PRAM chip
    settings could be lost. However by then, Date can also be wrong.
    Was there anything else going on that may have affected this?
    Sometimes odd items are related to something else.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hey Debbiered1,
    Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.

  • How can I eliminate duplicates in Outlook

    My iPhone 4 and iMac (Outlook) were out of sync. I synced them through iTunes and I now have duplicates in Outlook. How can I eliminate them in Outlook. My thought is to sync my iPhone with Google Contacts, eliminate the duplicates, and somehow load them into Outlook. Is that the best way to go, or is there an easier way?

    If you are trying to sync from the Outlook calendar on the PC and you are syncing with iCloud - that is probably why you are getting duplicate entries.
    So therefore, if you are getting duplicate entries - it must be syncing the Outlook calendar on the PC.
