Are you saying

A Tools > spelling pick up an error but "ADD" is greyed out
OR
B You right click a red underlined word and dont see "Add to dictionary" in
the pop up menu?

John:

When I select "Add to Dictionary," I get a tone and no action/addition to
the dictionary, indicating to me that the "add to dictionary" function is not
operating or is being blocked by something else (maybe apreference/option
somewhere in my version of the Ppt 2003?).

I cant think of any setting that would block this. Check whether the custom
dictionary is missing. It should be a file called CUSTOM.DIC and it should be
in Docs & settings\your name\application data\microsoft\proof

Did that answer the question / help?
