Some recent change in the spell check engine causes something like
"This is Donna' House" to be considered a spelling error. Only
happens in Office 2007 products.

Clicked send/post to soon...
Meant "Donna's House". Typing "Donna's" causing a spell error
notification in Office 2007.

Here, it's flagged as a spelling error in _both_ Word 2007 and Word 2003.
If it's something you type often, it's two mouse clicks to add it to your
dictionary (which you probably did long ago in a previous Word version and
forgot).

I get the same effect in Office 2003: "Donna owns Donna's house. I
actually get the same effect in the spell checker in Thunderbird. In
both cases, "Donna" is accepted.
Maybe this is because "Donna" is the term for a Spanish or Portugese
lady, so "Donna" by itself is a valid noun.
