Dear all,

My custom dictionaries (for spelling checks) often don't accept newly added terms, or I have to klick 'Add' twice before a new entry is added, and then, Word stops again at newly added term as if they weren't already in the dic file.

Now when I open the dic file, some entries seem to be displayed vertically (ech letter is a new entry). Other entries are in the file twice (AV-button). Can anyone explain/solve this behavior?

If I knew an answer "just like that", I'd tell you. But I don't, so I'd like to
suggets you ask this in the topic-specific newsgroup word.spelling.grammar.
You're more likely to get a good discussion in there than here, in a group
dedicated to programming questions.

It's also possible that the question has come up before in that group.
Unfortunately, my newsgroup software went south yesterday, so my archives are
gone, gone, gone. But you could try searching Google.
