Default Have limitless entries to the customisable dictionary

As a University student, i use Microsoft Word all the time.

I do subjects that use many specialise terminologies and phrases that aren't
common in everyday words.

As such, when writing reports i have to use these specialised terminologies.

Microsoft Word sometimes highlight these terminologies as a mistake. To
counter this, i "Add to Dictionary" so the word longer gets recognised as a
mistake. However,
i just realise that Microsoft Word has a limit on the number of entries that
users could add to their customised dictionary.

My suggestion thus, is to expand or have a limitless customised dictionary
which users like myself can continue to add words to without having to delete
previous words.

The limit is 10000 words per dictionary. Which is more than most people
functional vocabulary. Are you really hitting that limit?

As Jezebel says, the capacity of the custom.dic is already virtually
limitless. If you're being told the dictionary is full, the message may be
bogus; see €œYou receive an error message when you add a word to the custom
dictionary in Word 2003€ at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813996

But note that you can also have multiple custom dictionaries, and you may
wish to create one for each of your specialized vocabularies.
