Hos do I get bck my "ADD" feature?
When I'm typing something and I use a word that is not in the dictionary, the word gets a squiggly line underneath it. In the past I could right click on that word and a box would come up letting me change it to a recommended word or give me the option to "add" it to the dictionary. Now that "add" feature is no longer there. I can see it, but it isn't clickable. Did I do something to eliminate it? How do I get it back? Thanks. |

Depending on your system, the custom dictionary may be full. Start another.

Tools options spelling and grammar custom dictionaries new.
With older operating systems the maximum file size for a custom dictionary is 64kb. This limit does not apply to recent versions. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org JDT wrote: On Mon, 28 Feb 2005 08:40:58 -0000, "Graham Mayor" wrote: Depending on your system, the custom dictionary may be full.

Sometimes the message (if you get one) is bogus, though. See “You receive an
error message when you add a word to the custom dictionary in Word 2003” at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813996 -- Suzanne S.
