1.Select Tools > Spelling > Configure Spell Checker, then select the Dictionaries tab.

2.Click Add/New and choose a name and storage location for the dictionary. Dictionaries can be stored anywhere you like, also on network drives. They can also be used simultaneously by other users working on the same project or different projects.

You can also use the Add button to select existing user dictionaries. This adds them to the Custom Dictionaries list so that they are used by the spell checker.

Normally, your dictionary setup will be stored with your Help & Manual program settings and will be activated for all your projects. If you only want to use your dictionary settings for the current project select the option Selected options are used for this help project only in the Dictionaries tab.

In addition to adding incorrect words to your user dictionaries while spell checking, you can also edit the dictionaries to remove words added accidentally or to add new words.

1.Select Tools > Spelling > Configure Spell Checker, then select the Dictionaries tab and click the dictionary you want to edit in the Custom Dictionaries box.

2.Enter a word and click on Add to add, select a word and click on Delete to remove.

The Auto-Corrections and Excluded Words tabs in the edit user dictionary dialog (see above) have the following functions:

Auto-Corrections:
The first word in each pair in this list will be automatically replaced by the second word during manual spell checks. (This function is not supported in live spell checking.) You cannot enter words that are already included in the Excluded Words list.

Excluded Words:
All the words in this list are identified as incorrect by the spell checker, even if they are contained in the main dictionary. You cannot enter words that are already included in the Auto-Correct Pairs list.

See Spell checking for instructions on using these functions while spell checking.
