When working in Word, I cannot add new words to my custom dictionary. I am
able to do it Microsoft Mail.

That did not help but I did delete the old dictionary and created a new one
and then edited the new one in notepad with a paste from the old one. That
worked.

The old file had come from my old computer which used Office 2002. That may
have been the source of the problem.

Thank you for trying!
