Is there any way to add a science dictionary to Microsoft Word's spell check?

So science words don't get marked as misspelled.



Besides adding each word individually. Words like clade, bilateria, lytic, enantiomers...



It's driving me nuts.Is there any way to add a science dictionary to Microsoft Word's spell check?
You can add as many custom dictionaries as you want, but they have to follow this format:



1. The file has to be a straight ASCII file (not a Word .doc or .docx).

2. The file has to have the extension .dic

3. Each word has to be on a line by itself.

4. The words have to be in alphabetical order (I'm not sure what happens if they're not. Word MIGHT sort them for you.) Note that upper case letters are "lower than" lower case letters.

5. I think that lower case letters also match words in documents with upper case letters, but the reverse may not be true. That is, letters in upper case on the dictionary may match only upper case letters in documents.

6. The file should be in this directory:



In Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\your username\ Application Data\Microsoft\Proof



In Windows Vista: C:\Users\your username\ Roaming\AppData\ Microsoft\UProof



You can build such a dictionary as you go, adding words to it with the Add to Dictionary option on the misspelled word right-click menu. The custom dictionary has to be set up as the default this way.



In versions of Word prior to Word 2007:



1.Click the Tools-%26gt;Options menu item.

2.Click the Spelling %26amp; Grammar tab.

3.Click the Custom Dictionaries button.

4. Click the New button to create a new dictionary, or check an existing one. You don't have to use CUSTOM.DIC. You could define a new one for science words.

5. To be in use, a dictionary has to have a check in its checkbox.

6. To make a dictionary the default, select it (don't uncheck it0 and click the Change Default button.

7. Click OK.



In Word 2007:



1.Click the round Office button in the upper-left corner of the window.

2.Click the Word Options button.

3.Click Proofing.

4. Continue as in Step 3, above.



Hope that helps.
