        It seems like I finally got my muse back and am happily typing away at my latest chapter. There seems to be a slight problem though; Word has forgotten a lot of the words added to auto correct and the dictionary, but not all. Does anyone know when and why Word does such things to me? It's been a few weeks since I've been writing fanfiction (and thus using these words) but I have used Word for other purposes. It would be nice to know how I could prevent it from happening again.

        I have Word 2007, by the way.

            Go to options and try to find "Custom Dictionary". It's possible you've deleted it, or if you ran an anti-virus or system cleaner it may have deleted it.

                okay, check the languages on both MS Office as well as Windows 7. What'll often happen is you'll totally accidentally switch from US English to UK or Aussie or Canadian and it breaks that kind of thing. Happens all the time really.

                    No, that's not it either. I only have a handful of selected languages in Word and the US version is the only English one and I've only installed my native language for Windows. I've also disabled that annoying key combination that switches the languages, for Word as well as Windows. So I can only do it by choosing to do so or start writing in a different language (but it's still on US English).

                    So I really have no idea why some of it is missing and why some of it is still there. Thank you for trying to help though.

                    I know it's "old" but I don't like 2010, so I've removed it and went back to 2007. Besides, a lot of the computers at the uni don't even have 2007 yet. I have no experience with OpenOffice, but I like 2007 with the exception of it messing with my dictionaries.

                        Open Office is almost exactly like using Word, and it even uses the same file formats. I actually do like Word 2010 better than Word 2007, though.

                        And it's good to be back. Sara, as soon as I get a chance to ponder again the question you emailed me, I will respond.

                          Just been reading another, non-SG fan fiction and it brought up a disturbing, yet interesting point

                          ....


                          ....

                          whats Vogon fan fiction like?

                          Spoiler:
                          Vogon fanfiction is without doubt at least the second worst fanfiction in the known universe. It is written with the express purpose of making the author feel happy, and when the author is a large, slug-brained, bloody-minded, petty, vindictive and generally unpleasant bureaucrat, this results in something truly horrifying. And it was to this that our unfortunate heroes were now subjected. Vogon’s know exactly the right fiction to bring out to really upset their guests, and so Jeltz had brought out his four thousand-word epic on his ponysona, and how it had saved the universe....


                          and now we see how many of us have read "The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy"
