Spellchecking Word’s Dictionary October 25, 2006

Posted by iawalsh in : How do I ?, Troubleshooting , trackback


 Word lets you add words to its dictionary and to other custom dictionaries that you may have setup.

This is very handy if you’re using a lot of technical, business, or medical terms and want to avoid accepting them every time you run the spellchecker.
But, of course, you can also make mistakes when typing in these entries, which can then creep into your final draft. The spellchecker won’t find them because it thinks these are valid words.
Luckily it’s quite easy to update the dictionary and correct these errors.
Go to Tools, Options and select the Spelling and Grammar tab.
Click the Custom Dictionaries button.

Edit the list and Save when you’re finished.
