• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

My Word is misbehaving. I'm on chapter 4, and Word has suddenly decided it doesn't like the name for the dog. I've been using this name for the last 3 chapters without problem. Word did flag it the first time so I added it to the dictionary and it's all been fine. Until today when Word has decided to underline the name in red. The names that are already in the previous chapters are fine as if nothing is wrong, but when I type it new, Word highlights it.

It would seem, Monday morning has made my Word stroppy. I've tried adding it to the dictionary again like the first time, but nope. It's not having it.

Any ideas?
