moving from W2000 to W2003 with dictionaries
I have an 800 page document that I moved from an old computer with MS Word
2000 to a new computer with MS Word 2003. I use "ignore all" and "Add" for words that are not in the custom dictionary but those commands do not show up anywhere in the new version of Word. I have created a new custom dictionary but still can't get the "ignore all" or "add" commands. (I have a lot of baseball terms in the document and should have imported my custom dictionary used with Word 2000, but I didn't!) Thanks Hugh |

The commands are there. You need to have a word selected which has been
tagged as misspelled for them to show up when you right-click. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

I appreciate your offer of assistance but I must be terribly stupid because I
don't find anything related to the "Add" command for the existing dictionary or to a custom dictionary, nor do I see anything about "ignore all". I highlighted the word I want to either "ignore all" or to "add" to the dictionary and I fail to see any command that would be helpful. Sorry for being so dense.

Was the word marked as misspelled?
Did you right-click on it? -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

Mr. Kenyon,
You were correct. I was looking at a slew of grammatical corrections. When I iintentionally misspelled a word I got the response I was looking for. I apologize for not catching the difference between a grmmatical correction and the dictionary before I sent you the note. Thank you very much for your assistance and your patience.
