We are on GW2014.

We have a current incident that a users last name, when spell checked at the subject line or message body comes up with an inappropriate spelling correction that is no where near what the spelling should be. It is so inappropriate that HR is concerned about somebody being offended beside the person whose name it is could be subject to humiliation.

1. Why didn't it just return a "No spelling suggestions" like MS Word does?
2. Support tells there is no Global way to add this word to the English dictionary and distribute (update) to the GW client on the desktop.

I would like to see an admin console capability could maintain a custom dictionary that we could add words too that could not be over written by a user, would be the first dictionary to be checked and that it would over-ride the standard current dictionary.
This dictionary would be distributed to all the users in the PO whether its in webmail or the full GW client. Any special industry specific words could also be added by the GWAdmin.

Comments

  • Or perhaps simpler, spellcheck could check the GroupWise system address book for first and last names and userids in addition to it's word list.

  • Being able to add custom entries to the dictionaries on a organization scale would solve plenty of issues like this.
