Activating "add to dictionary" function in spell-check

[Larry B]

My Word 2003 doesn't allow me to add to my spelling dictionary. When it
suspects a misspelled word, it shows all the options, including "add to
dictionary." But the add option is disabled/grey.

Thanks for your suggestions!

This is what I did:
In Word 2007 I went to "word options, proofing, Custom Dictionaires" and
changeed lanuage to "English (US)" for the Custom.dic, which is the default.
Clicked OK. Tried the right clidk on a word and the "add to dictionary" is
still grayed.
What do you recommend I do? Thanks

As noted in the FAQ, the language setting for Custom.dic should be "All
languages."
