Spell Checker Won't Let You Add a Word to the Dictionary

Hello:

A user on Windows XP (possible sp2) and Outlook 2002 is not able to add a
word to the dictionary during spell check. The button to add the word to the
dictionary is grayed out.

Does anyone have a remedy for this. I do not have this problem on my
machine and have the same specs, though I do not have sp2.

And if he goes into Tools...Options...Spelling and tries to open the
dictionary to add the word directly, he gets a browse window trying to find a
some sort of file. I don't have this problem on my machine, either. So,
this option is not a workaround or a solution to the problem.

Thanks!!!
