Add a word to the dictionary

You can only add individual words to the dictionary. Phrases and word combinations cannot be added.

The words in the dictionary are case-sensitive. If a word is spelled with both lowercase and uppercase letters, it is recommended to add both spellings of the word to the dictionary.

To add a word to a custom dictionary directly from the text, right-click the selected text, and then run the Add to dictionary command from the shortcut menu.

To add a new word directly through the dictionary itself, follow these steps:

1.Open the Custom dictionary window in one of the following ways:

•Click the button and run the Settings command from the main menu. In the Settings pane, in the Spelling and grammar block, click Custom dictionary.

•On the Review tab, click  Spelling and grammar and run the Custom dictionary command.

•When working in macOS, run Tools > Custom dictionary command from the command menu.

2.In the Custom dictionary dialog box, enter the word to be added to the dictionary.

3.Click the button or press Enter.

4.Click Done to finish editing the dictionary and close the dialog box.
