<h5 id="C1_Win_SpellChecker_ISpellParser_FilterWord_System_String__remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>This method is useful in custom parsers that should ignore specific characters
or words.</p>
<p>For example, a parser that parses strings with accelerator characters should
filter out the ampersands before the word is checked.</p>
