Once you've built a custom dictionary, you may want to share it with coworkers. This video shows how to create new dictionaries, send them to other people, and import dictionaries that are sent to you.
- [Instructor] Word can keep multiple custom dictionaries…for the spell checker.…If you're running an office where lots of people…do work for the same clients,…and all of those clients have a bunch of words…that commonly trigger the spell checker,…then you might want to make a custom dictionary…and share that with your coworkers.…First, we need to go to our list of custom dictionaries.…Here on Windows,…I'll click File to go to the backstage view,…then I'll go to Options, then to the Proofing category,…and I'll click Custom Dictionaries.…Each of these dictionaries is a list of words…that the computer will remember,…and will not mark as spelling mistakes.…
I want to create a new one, so I need this New button…which is not available unless I select…one of the existing dictionaries.…Then I can click New.…I'm going to save it in the default location,…and I'm just going to give this one the name red30,…which is the name of our company.…Then I'll click Save, and naturally I could select…that dictionary, click Edit Word List,…
