I believe the Custom.dic file should *not* be read-only. Also, the language
should be set to "All Languages." See the relevant section of
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MasterSpellCheck.htm.

Are you saying you can't add a word because the "Add" command is disabled?
If that's the case then first make sure your custom dictionary is read
only.
Locate your custom dictionary and make sure Read Only is selected in the
file properties or in a read only location/folder on your computer.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

I am running Office 2003. Recently the ability to add a word to my
dictionary has been disabled. How can I re-enable this feature?
