Summary:

Microsoft PowerPoint can open only one user dictionary at a time. By default, the “Added Words” dictionary is used.

To use a user dictionary other than Added Words, do the following:


 * 1) From the Text menu, choose Spelling.
 * 2) In the Spelling dialog box, click the Added Words button.
 * 3) In the dialog box that appears, click the Open button.
 * 4) Select the user dictionary to be used, and click the OK button.

The words in the newly opened user dictionary will then be available for spell checking. However, the words in “Added Words” will not be available.

To create a new user dictionary, do the following:


 * 1) From the Text menu, choose Spelling.
 * 2) In the Spelling dialog box, click the Added Words button.
 * 3) In the dialog box that appears, click the New button.
 * 4) Type the name for the new dictionary and click the Save button.
