Depending on whether it's a spelling or grammar error, you can choose from several options: For spelling "errors" If Word says something is an error, you can choose not to change it. This often happens with people's names, which may not be in the dictionary. There are also times when the spelling and grammar check will say something's an error when it's actually not. Particularly with grammar, there are many errors Word will not notice. If you suspect this is an issue in your case, you should talk with your network administrator to get it checked out.The spelling and grammar check is not always correct. This potential problem normally only crops up if you are using a custom dictionary on a network and you don't have sufficient permissions to make changes to the file. You could also check to make sure that the dictionary is accessible by you and that you have rights to work on it. Of course, if you tried to go through the above steps, you would have noticed fairly easily that there wasn't a custom dictionary-there would have been nothing shown in the Custom Dictionaries dialog box (step 3). If the above steps don't solve the problem, then it is possible that you don't have a custom dictionary set up on your system. You can always set up multiple custom dictionaries and make sure that each of them is configured to the different languages in which you are working. In other words, if you set the language in step 6 to French, then you won't be able to add any words that are in English, German, Spanish, or some other language.
If you have the custom dictionary set to something other than All Languages in step 6, then Word only lets you add words that are in the language you specified.
Word keeps track of the language of both your text and allows you to specify with what language a dictionary should be associated. The most likely cause for this situation is that the language of the word you are trying to add doesn't match the language of the dictionary. However, when he right-clicks on the word in order to add it to the dictionary, he finds the "add to dictionary" option grayed out, so that he cannot add it. Richard notes that when doing a spelling check in the background, Word dutifully underlines words it thinks are spelled incorrectly.
