You can add special terms to the spelling checker dictionary in Microsoft Publisher 2002, such as proper nouns, industry-specific words, and abbreviations. When the spelling checker flags a word as incorrect, you can add that word to the dictionary. Once you add a word, Publisher won't flag it as incorrectly spelled when it appears later in the publication, or in another publication.

To add terms to the dictionary

1. On the Tools menu, point to Spelling, and then click Spelling.
2. Click Add for each word or abbreviation you want to add to the dictionary.

Note  You won't be able to add new terms to the dictionary until the spelling checker finds a misspelled word.
