How to add a dictionary file to MS Word
Follow the following steps to add a dictionary
file to Word. These instructions work for both Word95 and Word97,
but other software may be similar, although we have no means to
check.
Unzip the dictionary file which produces a file called MEDTERMS.DIC.
Place the unzipped file (*.dic) in the shared resources folder
(-> Program Files -> Common Files -> Microsoft Shared
-> Proof). Start up word and open a blank document. From the
menu choose Tools -> Options and select the Spelling tab. Hit
Custom Dictionaries. You should now have a list of the
dictionaries installed and the dictionary files MEDTERMS.DIC
should be visible but unchecked. Click in the box next to each
file and the dictionary is now available to Word and other
programs that use the shared resources. To edit the dictionary
files, highlight the relevant dictionary and hit the Edit button.
