    Spell Checker not working in Mail or Word Windows 10

    The spelling checker is working in my Windows 10 Mail, and gives suggest corrections in a list, but there is no ADD function shown, to add the word to a custom dictionary. Office 365 Spell checker has this capability and saves the 'new' word to 'custom.dic'
    and 'roamingdefault.dic. Mail seems to have this function, as the 'misspelt' word is at the bottom of the suggested alternatives but with a + in front of it. I assume this will then add it to a Mail custom dictionary but I can find no reference to what its
    file name is or where is it located, so I cannot go and edit it, which I can do with the Office 365 dictionary.

    Regards,

    Ed

    E66 - Possible to edit/delete word in T9 dictionary

    Hi

    I have a problem with my T9 dictionary.

    A wrong word is added to the list and this is the first word to be suggested for a very common input, very annoying as the combination is used a lot.

    Is it possible to edit the T9 list in the phone?

    Rgds

    Problem with Add to Dictionary- corrected words still being underlined


    If you have the custom dictionary set to something other than All Languages then Word only lets you add words that are in the language you specified. In other words, if you set the language in step 6 to French, then you won't be able to add any words that are in English, German, Spanish, or some other language. You can always set up multiple custom dictionaries and make sure that each of them is configured to the different languages in which you are working.
