I can't add words to my custom dictionary


a.. Your custom dictionary may have been rendered read-only as a
consequence of restoring the file from a read-only source such as a CD-ROM.
Locate the file in Explorer and uncheck the read-only property. See Tools >
Options > Spelling & Grammar > Custom Dictionaries for the path information.


a.. Another possibility is that the custom dictionary is full. See:

Thank you for your fast response. You answer guided me in
the right direction. As it turns out, the custom.dec file
had gotten deleted so I just added a new one and named it
custom.dic.
