CREATING A USER DICTIONARY
 
Overview: <Utilities Spelling command>
 
Word uses a default user dictionary named
SPECIALS.CMP.
 
To create a new user dictionary:
1. Choose Utilities Spelling (Alt,U,S).
2. When Word presents an unknown word, choose the
   Options button.
3. In the User Dictionary box, type a name (up to
   eight characters) for the new user dictionary.
4. Choose OK.
   Word adds the .CMP extension to the name.
5. When Word prompts you to confirm that you want
   to create a new user dictionary, choose OK.
 
Note: You must select User from the Add To
      Dictionary list box to add word(s) to a user
      dictionary. This dictionary remains in use
      until you specify a new user dictionary or
      until you change to a standard or document
      dictionary.
