Customizing Your Spelling Dictionaries

The Office programs use one or more dictionaries to check your spelling. When there’s a word in your file that’s correct but that isn’t recognized—an unfamiliar technical or scientific term, for example—you can tell your program to add that word to your custom dictionary. If you already have a custom dictionary that includes those words or terms, you can add that dictionary to the list of dictionaries you’re using. Also, if you discover any incorrectly spelled words in your dictionary, replace them with the correct spelling; otherwise, your program will consider the incorrect spelling to be correct.

Add a Dictionary

  1. Click the Office button, click the program’s Options button on the menu, and, in the program’s Options dialog box, click the Proofing category in the left pane. In Publisher, point to Spelling on the Tools menu, and choose Spelling Options from the submenu. Click the Custom Dictionaries button to display the Custom Dictionaries dialog box.

  2. If there’s an existing dictionary you want to use, click Add, and, in the Add Custom Dictionary dialog box that appears, locate the dictionary file. Click Open.

  3. Select the language for an added dictionary if you want it to be used only for that specific language.

  4. To create a dictionary by adding entries, click New, use the Create Custom Dictionary dialog box to name the dictionary file, and click Save.

  5. To add or delete words in a dictionary, select the dictionary, and click Edit Word List.

  6. Do either of the following:

    1. Type a word you want to add, and click Add.

    2. Select a word you want to remove, and click Delete.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Verify that the dictionaries you want to use are checked and that those you don’t want to use aren’t checked.

  9. Click OK.
