It gives me pleasure to release the latest version of the Microsoft Exclude file. A great number of people in Australia don't like the way Microsoft products accept the ize spelling in words such as organize.
Microsoft have provided a solution where users can create their own Exclude file, so words like organize, summarize, etc. are shown as spelling errors. Whilst the solution is very easy to implement, creating the Exclude file can take a great deal of time. Now you don't have to waste your time because we've already done the hard work.
We create two Exclude files. One for Word 2003, and the other for Office 2007. The Exclude file for Office 2007 now works across all the Office applications, which is a great update by Microsoft.
Our Exclude file now contains over 2,400 words. Not only does it include a large number of the ize words, but it also includes errors we've found in the Microsoft spellchecker. We're now also including secondary spelling variations, so you'll know you're using the preferred Australian English spelling.
If you don't like ize spelling, or simply want more consistent spelling in your documents, then check out the Microsoft Exclude file which is available now.
