Forgive my stupidity, but I don't understand. Are you saying you can flag,
say, "WibbleSoft" to the speelchucker such that it no longer flags it as a
misspelling?

Word can do that, kinda. If you do a spelling check and then when it finds
WibbleSoft and flags it as a spello, click "Ignore All" and it will trouble
you no more.
