store acronyms in the word dictionary so they are not spell-checke
I often prepare government documents and as a rule acronyms are part of the language... E.g., DoD is one that is used all of the time. The question is how to stop Word (2003) from always flagging this acronym as a spelling error. I've tried saving the acronym in the dictionary but this has not helped. Moreover, Word always tries to capitalize DoD to: DOD... and this is not what is required. I think the problem is that Word is not seeing this as a spelling error at all. I think it's seeing it as a capitalization error. Check your AutoCorrect options and see if one of...

Export WPX4 Address book to MS Word 2007?
Is it possible to transfer my WordPerfect X4 address book to Word 2007 for use in addressing envelopes etc.? I have the home and school version of 07.

It *may* be possible to extract the data from your WP address book to a Word table to use as a data source for mail merge, but I suspect you may have to do this from Word Perfect. If you still have access to WP, check if it has an option to export to a comma delim...
