Problem with writing a book, please help?

[Daniel V]

I'm writing a book about crime, and if you don't like swear/cuss words, then don't read any further. Anyways, i'm writing a book about crime, and instead of using the word fucking and busting and stuff like that. Mobsters use more of of the "in" then the "ing". (example: fuckin instead of fucking) But my word document marks it as a mistake. i thought that putting a " in' " after it, would solve the problem, but i guess not. Is there anyway to make the "in's" instead of the "ing's" a non mistake? Sorry if this question is kind of confusing.

turn off spell check or when the mistake shows up right click and hit ignore all

Whenever i am writing i tend to make up words so whenever spell check says it is spelt wrong i just click 'add to dictionary' then if you use it again it won't say its incorrect. I do this even when it is spelt wrong becuse i don't like seeing the squiggly lines!! ^_^

You can turn off the spell check!

When the word is highlighted click it to go into the spell checker and then click options.

From there, you can see the section about correcting grammar and spelling in Word, un-check the check spelling box and you should be good to go!

when you hit go to spell check it or whatever just hit "Ignore all" and then it will stop telling your it's an error.

When you write dialog as you are to show the reader how the characters actually sound you will get a lot of error messages. I simply ignore them since I learned long ago not to trust MS Word to edit my work. Nothing wrong with it, it just has the limitations you would expect of a computer program. I suppose you could add the words to MS Word's dictionary such that it would consider working and workin' both as correct spellings, for example. Without knowing your version of MS Word I cannot tell you how to accomplish this but it's usually pretty easy.

I just conducted a test and found that the most recent version of MS Word recognizes <workin'> as a word. So I guess someone at MS understands your problem.

Edit - The problem with the "ignore all" option is that in most versions of MS Word it forgets what it's supposed to ignore each time you close the program. So for a short document this could work but for a full novel it might not.
