Default "ADD TO DICTIONARY" Grayed Out

Word 2003/XP

When I type a word that is not in the Word Dictionary but I want it to be, I
used to select the word, right click, and then select "Add to
Dictionary." Recently, however, I re-installed Word and now "Add to
Dictionary" is grayed out and I can't select it or add words to the
dictionary.

Ideas?
