My default dictionary in Word 2007 is set to English (New Zealand) - valid
personal preference

When the Spelling Checker highlights a word, the dictionary in use is shown
as English (Australia) and I cannot add to my custom dictionary (Button
greyed-out). If I change the dictionary to English (New Zealand, the cursor
moves past the highlighted word, I still cannot add to the dictionary, I need
to click Ignore to move on.

I assume that this is not the way it is supposed to work

How do I get it to work properly?

All help appreciated

The Custom.dic file should be set to "All Languages." You can set your
preferred language elsewhere. See
