If you need help installing a third-party dictionary, see the installation instructions for that dictionary.

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab.
Click Custom Dictionaries.
If the custom dictionary you want isn't in the Custom Dictionaries box, click Add.
Locate the folder containing the custom dictionary you want. The following are default locations for custom dictionaries.
In Microsoft Windows 2000 or later

Custom dictionaries are stored by default in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof folder.

In Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition or Microsoft Windows 98

Custom dictionaries are stored by default in either the C:\Windows_folder\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof folder or the C:\Windows_folder\Profiles\User_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof folder.

In Microsoft Windows NT 4.0

Custom dictionaries are stored by default in the C:\Windows_folder\Profiles\User_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof folder.

In the File name box, enter the name of the custom dictionary you want to add, and then click OK.
The custom dictionary appears in the list of dictionaries in the Custom Dictionaries dialog box.

If you want to make this dictionary the default dictionary, click the dictionary name, and then click Change Default.

Activate the custom dictionary.
