Adding terms to your Custom Dictionary

Rather than going through the hassle of opening the dictionary dialog box via the Tools menu, you can add terms directly from the document window: If you have typed a word that is flagged as a spelling error, simply right click on the word and select Add to Dictionary from the shortcut menu. The word will be added to your custom dictionary. If you haven’t created a custom dictionary, a new one will be created for you (the default name for dictionaries created with this method is CUSTOM.dic).
