WORKAROUND

The AutoMark feature cannot find words that contain hyphens. To work around this limitation, perform a search-and-replace on the hyphenated words and replace the hyphens with a special character. To restore the document, replace the special characters with hyphens.

NOTE: Do not use nonbreaking spaces (CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR) to replace the hyphens unless the connecting words are words the speller can recognize individually (for example, "plug-and-play" but not "t-shirt").

When the AutoMark file contains the same word with different capitalization, Word will randomly miss words in the document. The first few occurrences of the word are found (usually the lowercase), but subsequent occurrences are not. If you rerun AutoMark, Word picks up a few more words each time.

To improve the number of entries that are marked, try the following:

• Run the index three or four times.
• Remove "white space" (for example, spaces and tabs) from the concordance file.
• Sort the concordance file.
• Break down the document you are trying to mark into smaller documents.
