Specifying the Default Custom dictionary

The default custom dictionary is the dictionary to which words are added when you click Add to Dictionary when running a spell check on your document. There can only be one default dictionary per language. To specify the default custom dictionary for the Hunspell spell checker, you can do this in the Options dialog box in SDL Trados Studio. However, if you want to specify the default custom dictionary for the Microsoft Word spell checker, you must do so in Microsoft Word.

Procedure

  1. Select File > Options from the Ribbon. The Options dialog box is displayed.
  2. Select Editor > Spelling from the navigation tree.
  3. Click Custom Dictionaries to display the Custom Dictionaries dialog box.
  4. Select the custom dictionary that is to be the default dictionary for that language, and click Change Default.
  5. Click OK to save changes and close the Custom Dictionaries dialog box.
  6. Click OK to save settings and close the Options dialog box.

Results

The dictionary is now the default custom dictionary for the specified language.
