Adding custom words to the spell check

To have custom words accepted as correct by the spell check, you need to create a custom dictionary that includes them.

Users can then include the custom dictionary (with the custom words) for use by in their spell check on the Language tab of the Spelling Options window. See Spelling Options - Language tab.

To add words to a custom dictionary:

1. Create and save a text file with one word on each line.
   
2. Open the Create Dictionary window. See Create Dictionary window.
3. Select Include Word List and enter the filepath for your word list.
   
   Note: If you want to include community member names in your custom dictionary, select Include Names from Synergetic Database.
   
   
4. Enter a name and filepath for the custom dictionary.
   
   Note: The custom dictionary must be saved in the Synergetic\Dictionaries directory.
   
   Tip: If you are updating an existing custom dictionary, you may not be able to overwrite the existing file while other users are logged into the system. If this occurs, create a new dictionary file with your custom words then rename it to replace the original custom dictionary at a later time. 
   
   
   
5. Click .
   The dictionary is created.
   
6. Update the Spelling:Dictionary configuration setting to ensure that the filename is included against a configuration key.
7. Let staff members at your organisation know to select the custom dictionary on the Language tab of the Spelling Options window. See Spelling Options - Language tab.
