Spell Check in Office on Faculty servers

Post date: Apr 01, 2010 1:10:14 PM

Tired of having Microsoft Office on Faculty1 or Faculty2 tell you you’re misspelling words when you know you’re not? Here’s how you can create a custom dictionary so you can help Office “learn” about new words:

1. Open Word

2. From the Tools menu, select Options

3. Click on the Spelling & Grammar tab

4. Click the Custom Dictionaries button

5. Click the New button

6. In the File name: box near the bottom, type “custom.dic”

7. Click Save, then OK, then OK again to close out of all the options boxes.

The Add to Dictionary option should now be available when you right-click on a word that is detected as mis-spelled. You should only need to do these steps once, and only in one Office program (Word).
