Method 1:
- In MS Word, go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Trusted Locations
- Select "Add new location", then browse to C:\[Your user path]\AppData\Roaming
- Add the memoQ folder as trusted location
If that doesn't work,
Method 2:
- In memoQ (I use 9.12), go to Options > Spelling and Grammar
- Select your language, then "hunspell" instead of "MS Word" in both buttons below
Method 2 is less preferable because you're using a different dictionary, so your settings are not synced between Word and memoQ as to words to be ignored.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would add my input in case anyone else stumbles on it, as I did while experiencing the same problem. Method 1 did not work for me at first, but after restarting my computer it suddenly did. So if anyone tries this, be sure to add that step!
