By default, Word includes its own dictionary and lets you create your own custom dictionaries. When you are creating a document, any words that are not in the dictionary are underlined with a red squiggly line. This can become an annoyance if you are repeatedly using that word throughout your document. The workaround is to add that word to the dictionary.

To add a word to the dictionary in Word 2007:

  • Click the Microsoft Office Button and click Word Options.
  • Click Proofing.
  • Click Custom Dictionaries.
  • Select the dictionary list you want to modify and click Edit Word List.
  • Type in the word you want to add to the dictionary and click Add.
  • Repeat this step for each additional word you want to add to the dictionary.
