Word's spell check feature is invaluable and when you spell check you should use the "Add" button to add all abbreviations, names, medical terminology etc., to the Custom Dictionary. When you are spell checking quickly it is easy to accidentally add misspelt words to the dictionary. Follow the instructions below to open the Custom Dictionary and check that the contents are correct. |

Opening Word's Custom Dictionary

Load Word and go to the Tools menu and choose Options and click the Spelling & Grammar tab at the top of the dialog box. Click the Dictionaries button. You should now be in the Custom Dictionaries dialog box and your custom dictionary should be highlighted. Click the Edit button at the bottom of the dialog box. At this point Word will remind you that editing the custom dictionary will switch off spell checking as you type. The custom dictionary will now appear on the screen. |

Editing the Custom Dictionary

The custom dictionary has one word per line and is sorted alphabetically. Delete the words that are incorrect and save and close the file. Now, go back to Tools, Options, Spelling & Grammar and switch "Check spelling as you type" back on. |
