Spell has two dictionaries it uses when checking the spelling of
words:
• The Spell dictionary, which contains the built-in words. The
Spell dictionary is always used when checking a word.
•
The Personal dictionary, which you can use to add other
words that you want to keep in Spell, e.g. if you use a
specialised vocabulary for your work.
You can use the Personal dictionary in addition to the Spell
dictionary. You can view the contents of the Personal dictionary,
and delete words if they are no longer required, or if you added
them by mistake.
• To use the personal dictionary as well as the Spell
dictionary: select the command from the File menu. This
setting is saved when you close Spell, and also applies when
spell checking words in other programs, e.g. when spell
checking a Word document.
• To add a word to the Personal dictionary: type the
word in the box then tap the Dictionary button on the
Toolbar and select the Add to command or select the
command from the Personal dictionary commands on the
File menu.
• To view the contents of the Personal dictionary: tap
the Dictionary button on the Toolbar then select the Show
contents command or select the command from the
Personal dictionary commands on the File menu. This
makes it easier for you to remove unwanted words,
especially if you can’t remember all the words you have
added to the Personal dictionary.
• To delete a word from the Personal dictionary: show
the contents of the Personal dictionary (as described
above), highlight the word you want to delete and select the
command from Personal dictionary commands on the
File menu.
