adding a word to spell dictionary disabled
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? |

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.

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. -- Suzanne S.

I think I recall that there is a maximum size that custom.dic can reach.
It's possible that it's at capacity, particularly if it had been working and suddenly stopped. There should be an error message, however, saying that it's full. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.
