Anyone using a medical spellchecker add-on for Word 365 that flags look-alikes like lamotrigine vs lamivudine and doesn’t mangle units like mmHg or μL? I’ve tried Spellex Medical 2024 and Stedman’s 2023 and still get odd autocorrect behavior with eponyms (Gram-positive, Papanicolaou), so I’m looking for something better or a settings tweak.
And i fixed the look‑alike slips by using Word’s exclusion dictionary — add the drug you almost never intend to type (for me, ‘lamivudine’) so it always gets flagged, and keep the correct forms like ‘mmHg’ by adding them to your custom dictionary; tiny caveat: legit uses will underline, but that’s the point — want the quick steps?
Ended up pairing PerfectIt (AMA style) with Word 365 and leaving Spellex just for raw spellcheck — it leaves mmHg/μL alone and fixes ‘Gram‑positive’ and Papanicolaou cleanly: https://www.intelligentediting.com. For look‑alikes, I set a PerfectIt preference so ‘lamotrigine’ is preferred and ‘lamivudine’ gets flagged instead of relying on Word’s autocorrect. @iscr482 have you tried that workflow?
