I happen to be writing about Wolfram|Alpha in MS Word and PowerPoint, and both applications give it the red wavy underline indicating misspelling. When I right click and select "Add to Dictionary," the red line goes away momentarily but then reappears right away on the next check (immediately for Word, after clicking away from the word in PowerPoint).
I checked the custom dictionary file as described in this answer and found the term listed there (twice, actually; even removing one of those lines and restarting Word didn't help; a re-add from Word made it show up twice again).
The vertical bar or pipe character ("|") as part of the word seems to be the problem. Does anybody know why?
You can trick Word by using a Unicode control character called Zero Width Joiner
(ZWJ). Here's how:
Wolfram
. When it's marked as a spelling mistake, add it to your dictionary. I assume 'Alpha' is already a valid word (if not, add it as well).Insert
tab click Symbol
and then More Symbols
.Character code
field type 200D
and click Insert
(see screenshot below).Symbol
dialog.The phrase Wolfram|Alpha
will now be treated as valid text.
To save time typing and adding the ZWJ every time:
Options
> Proofing
> Autocorrect
paste the phrase in the Replace as you type
area and assign a shortcut (like wa
).Now whenever you type wa
it will be expanded automatically to this phrase.
Here's a screenshot of the Symbol dialog box from Word 2010:
