When I learned to use spreadsheets there was a way to ensure that what you typed was added to the spreadsheet exactly as you typed it; I think it was something like adding a quotation mark would ensure that the numbers you entered were not converted by the column preferences.
Is there a way to do that in Spell Catcher? Sometimes SC corrects something I don’t want corrected and no matter what I try it keeps changing it to what it thinks it should be.
Two examples:
1. I very often have to type O and D together (for Organization Development); the program always changes it to DO (for this example I had to separate them to keep DO from appearing where I was trying to type O D).
2. I use the ellipses quite a bit and do not want the word that follows the ellipsis to be capitalized. The program always capitalizes and I can see no way to correct that.
Is there something like, #DO, (<- you know what happened there) that would keep it to exactly what I typed?
Thank you!

As for the ellipsis, I know about this, just haven't been able to do anything about it yet.
