You can increase the vocabulary of the spelling checker by adding words to the Dictionary. When you add a word to the Dictionary it is “learned” for all applications that use the spelling checker. The words in the spelling checker are “User” dependent. If other “Users” have login rights to the same computer, each User has his or her own dictionary available in all applications.
You can add to and/or subtract words from your Dictionary any time the Spelling window is open.
► Click Learn if the spelling checker finds a word not in its list but which you want to include.
► Type words directly into the “Replace with” box and click Learn.
Remove words from the dictionary
There are three ways you can remove a word from the dictionary so that the spelling checker will resume flagging it in any document or application.
► Type the word directly into the “Replace with” box of the spelling checker and click Forget.
► Select it in the document and choose the menu command: Edit > Show Spelling and Grammar > Unlearn Spelling.
► Select the word, press ⌃ and choose Unlearn Spelling from the contextual menu that appears.
☞ Remember that all words in the User Dictionary are not case sensitive.
