Specifying Hunspell default custom dictionaries

The default custom dictionary is the dictionary to which words are added when you select Add to Dictionary when running a spell check on your file. 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. 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. Go to File > Options from the Ribbon.
  2. In the Options dialog, in the navigation tree, select Editor > Spelling.
  3. Select Custom Dictionaries.
  4. In the Custom Dictionaries dialog, select the custom dictionary that is to be the default dictionary for that language, and select Change Default.
  5. Select OK to save changes and close the Custom Dictionaries dialog.
  6. Select OK to save settings and close the Options dialog.

Results

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