Re: Speller "Add to Dictionary" Button is Grayed

Try unchecking your custom dictionary (Word Options > Proofing > Custom
Dictionaries) and create a new one. If that works, copy the content of the
old one to the new one and set it as default (or better still, but more
laborious, open the old one in Word and spell check it and add the words to
your new dictionary.)

I am not able to add words to my custom dictionary because the button
for doing so is grayed out. I have already followed the instructions
in KB211188 and KB 321481. All of my settings were correct as
suggested in these two articles.

I am using Office 2007. The problem occurs in all office applications.
My dictionary is one that I have had for many years and have upgraded
from version to version. I only noticed this behavior when I recently
upgraded to Office 2007 from Office XP. I only have one custom
dictionary in my custom dictionary list. I am using WindowsXP SP2.

Thanks for any assistance.
