New word Relatedly?

[Tamara]

Hi

Relatedly, certain questions will arise….
(taken from a technical book)

Does that relatedly actually exist? (and in usage)

Dictionaries are very careful and rather vague about it. And make me even more doubtful

MS Word (hi, Amy ) refuses it and busily offers two variants of substitution:
Elatedly
Belatedly

Hi Tamara

Technically speaking, relatedly is a valid word.
But I'd say your example is pretty unusual.

Techies...

But, your sentence must have come from some very extra special techies seeing as even the Microsoft people apparently don't use it (i.e., didn't include it in MS Word).

Hi Tamara,

New word perhaps? As an alternative to related to that? Kind of like it, though. Perhaps we should air it on the forums.
