This article was previously published under Q122233 SYMPTOMS
The Grammar and Spelling commands do not identify "that that" or "had had"
as repeated words. This behavior is different from that of earlier versions
of Microsoft Word.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Word. The Grammar and Spelling
commands recognize that these two words can be repeated within a sentence.
Although such constructions are not grammatically correct in the strictest
sense, they are generally accepted in colloquial English.
