You can also add third-party dictionaries with specialized words, like medical and legal dictionaries. Today we’ll show you how to manually edit the custom dictionary, create a new custom dictionary, and add third-party dictionaries.

All Microsoft Word users have a default custom dictionary that acts as a catchall for their spelling preferences. In fact, every time you right-click on a flagged word (which may or may not be misspelled) and select “Add to Dictionary,” that word goes to your default custom dictionary. However, you can create additional custom dictionaries in Microsoft Word for specific documents.
If you use Microsoft Word to write and edit documents, the program will flag many of the specialized terms you used. This is because each domain or field comes with its own terminology. And the dictionary that Word relies on simply does not include your terms.
This tutorial will apply for Microsoft Word 2021, 2019, 2013, and 2010 for both Windows (such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Toshiba, Acer, Asus) and macOS (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Mini) devices.
