Tip of the Month

Adding Words to the Office Dictionary 

By default, Word and PowerPoint check the spelling of your documents and presentations as you type. When you type a word that's not in the Office dictionary, a red, wavy line displays under the word, indicating it might be misspelled.
  
Just because the program doesn't recognize a word, however, doesn't mean it's misspelled, of course. It could be a person or product name or simply an uncommon (though correct) word. In this case, you can add the word to your user dictionary, so that it isn't marked as misspelled again.
  
To add a word to your dictionary, right-click the red underlined word and select Add to Dictionary.
  
You can add words to the dictionary in Excel, too, but you must run a spell check manually to do so. When the word displays in the spell check dialog box, click the Add to Dictionary button.
  
Note that the dictionary is shared among all Office applications; therefore, adding a word to the dictionary in one application automatically adds it in the others as well.
