Answer
The best approach to retain the correct name "DataTech" for this document but recognize it as an error in other documents is to **right-click on "DataTech" and select "Add to Dictionary."**Here's why the other options are not ideal:* **Ignore Once:** This will only ignore the flagged instance of "DataTech" this one time. If "DataTech" appears again in the same document, it will be flagged again.* **Ignore All:** This will ignore "DataTech" throughout the current document, which is what you want. However, it *won't* flag it as an error in other documents where it might be a genuine typo. This could lead to mistakes in other contexts.* **Select "Datatec":** This would change the correct name to an incorrect one.* **Correct in this Document Only:** While this seems like a viable option, it's less efficient than adding it to the dictionary. It might also lead to confusion if you share the document and someone else edits it. Their version of Word might not have the same correction stored.By adding "DataTech" to your dictionary, Word will recognize it as a correctly spelled word in all future documents. This ensures consistency and avoids the need to repeatedly correct the spelling.
