多年来，Microsoft Word在我们的职业生涯中发挥了关键作用。每次我们想要准备一篇文章或任何类型的提案时，它几乎都是我们的首选应用程序。同样，它有相当一部分程序员依赖它作为他们的主要IDE（集成开发环境(Integrated Development Environment)）。
Microsoft Word或任何文本编辑应用程序中最有用的功能之一是自动更正，但有时会有点烦人。有时，您反复提及不属于 Word 词典的单词，或者编写一行代码，其中对象未被识别为合法的英语单词。因此，今天我们将向您展示如何在Microsoft Word Dictionary中添加或删除单词。
我无法理解无数次因为自动更正功能而免于愚蠢的打字错误的尴尬，但在我们打算输入的单词不是字典的一部分的情况下，出现的那些红线在它们之下既烦人又使您的工作看起来不整洁。另一方面，您可能会错误地将一个单词添加到MS Word词典中，这意味着每次您在其上键入该单词时，它都不会被纠正。本指南将帮助您解决这两个问题。
虽然本指南以Microsoft Word为中心，但Microsoft在其(Microsoft)Office 套件(Office Suite)的各种实用程序中保留了独特的 UI ，因此您也可以在Excel、PowerPoint、Outlook等其他(Outlook)Office应用程序中找到类似的步骤来进行这些调整。
(Add)在Microsoft Word 词典中(Microsoft Word Dictionary)添加或删除单词
您可以通过以下方式在Microsoft Word Dictionary中添加或删除单词：
- 使用 Word 上下文菜单
- 来自DEFAULT.dic字典文件
- 使用自定义词典(Custom Dictionaries)对话框
1]使用Word上下文菜单
这几乎是完成工作的最基本和最基本的方法。您在这里所要做的就是打开Microsoft Word并输入您要添加到字典中的单词。
如果它还不是它的一部分，你会在它下面找到一条红线。右键单击该单词，然后从上下文菜单中选择“添加到词典”。如果此选项最终显示为灰色，则必须启用自定义(Custom) 词典(Dictionaries)选项。这是如何做到的。
单击(Click)顶部菜单中的文件(File)选项。在左侧的设置面板中，单击“选项”。这将打开Word 选项(Word Options)窗口。
在这里，从左侧选择校对并进一步单击自定义词典(Custom Dictionaries)。您现在将看到一个单独的自定义词典(Custom Dictionaries)窗口。
在Dictionary List下，选中CUSTOM.dic。这将启用“更改默认值”(Change Default)选项，否则该选项将显示为灰色。单击它，然后从Dictionary Language下拉列表中选择 All Languages。单击确定保存这些设置并退出窗口。(Save)您现在可以使用上下文菜单将单词添加到MS Word词典。(MS Word)

2] 来自DEFAULT.dic字典文件
DEFAULT.dic文件是您手动添加到字典中的所有单词的目录。它也可以修改为更多单词腾出空间。
按 Windows + 'R' 组合键打开运行命令。(Run)在命令行框中，复制并粘贴以下路径。
%AppData%\Microsoft\Spelling\en-US
或者，您可以打开文件管理器(File Manager)并将路径粘贴到那里。
这将带您到一个名为Spelling的文件夹，您将在其中看到三个文件。我们必须使用DEFAULT.dic文件。不幸的是，没有可以打开“.dic”扩展文件的标准应用程序，所以我们将使用记事本(Notepad)。
右键单击(Right-click)DEFAULT.dic文件(DEFAULT.dic)并单击打开(Open)方式。然后它会显示一个应用程序列表，您可以使用这些应用程序打开“.dic”文件，该列表通常为空。因此，单击“更多应用程序”，然后从随后显示的列表中选择记事本(Notepad)。
这将打开一个记事本(Notepad)文件，其第一行带有“# LID 1033 ”字样。(LID 1033)您现在所要做的只是将您想要成为字典一部分的单词添加到此记事本文件中。如果您必须从系统词典中删除一个单词，只需从该文档中删除它即可。
请记住，您应该每行只输入一个单词。示例文件如下所示：
保存文件，您现在可以观察这些新添加的单词，使其下方不显示红线。
3]使用自定义词典(Custom Dictionaries)对话框
如果您还记得，我们之前打开了“自定义词典”(Custom Dictionaries)对话框以启用“添加(Add)到词典”(Dictionary)功能。您也可以使用此对话框将您选择的单词添加到字典中。
打开MS Word并从顶部菜单(Top Menu)中单击文件(File)。从设置并显示在左侧窗格中，选择选项。
单击(Click)Proofing并进一步选择Custom Dictionaries。在Custom Dictionaries窗口中，单击CUSTOM.dic或您选择的任何字典，然后进一步单击Edit Word List。
在单词(Word)选项下，键入您希望成为字典一部分的单词，然后单击添加(Add)以保存。使用这种方法的单词(Word)可以一个一个添加，所以重复这个过程，完成后关闭窗口。
您现在或以前添加的所有单词都将出现在Dictionary下。如果您想删除一个单词，只需单击它并选择Delete。
我们希望本指南能够令人满意地回答您有关如何在MS Word 词典(MS Word Dictionary)中添加或删除单词的问题。

How to Add or Delete Words from the Microsoft Word Dictionary
Over the years Microsoft Word has played a key role in our professional lives. It is pretty much our go-to application every time we want to prepare an article or a proposal of any sort. Similarly, it has a fair share of programmers depending on it as their primary IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
One of the most useful features in Microsoft Word, or any text editing application, is the autocorrect, but that can get a tad bit annoying at times. Sometimes, you repeatedly mention words that aren’t a part of Word’s dictionary or write a line of code where the objects aren’t identified as legitimate English words. Thus, today we will be showing you how you can add or remove words from the Microsoft Word Dictionary.
I can’t fathom the countless times I have been saved from the embarrassment of foolish typing errors just because of the autocorrect feature, but in cases where the words we intend to type aren’t a part of the dictionary, those red lines that appear under them can both be annoying and make your work look untidy. On the flip side, it’s possible for you to mistakenly add a word to the MS Word dictionary, meaning that each time you type that work thereon out, it won’t be corrected. This guide will help you out with both these issues.
While this guide was centered around Microsoft Word, Microsoft has kept a unique UI across the various utilities of its Office Suite, so you can find similar steps to make these tweaks in other Office applications like Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook too.
Add or remove words from Microsoft Word Dictionary
You have the following ways using which you can add or remove words from Microsoft Word Dictionary:
- Using the Word context menu
- From the DEFAULT.dic dictionary file
- Using the Custom Dictionaries dialog box
1] Using the Word context menu
This is pretty much the most basic and elementary way to get the job done. All you have to do here is open Microsoft Word and type out the word that you want to add to the dictionary.
If it isn’t already a part of it, you’ll find a red line below it. Right-click on the word and from the context menu, select ‘Add to dictionary.’ If this option is greyed out on your end, you will have to enable the Custom Dictionaries option. Here is how that can be done.
Click on the File option from the menu up top. From the panel of settings on the left, click on ‘Options’. This is going to open the Word Options window.
Here, select proofing from the left side and further click on Custom Dictionaries. You will now see a separate Custom Dictionaries window.
Under Dictionary List, checkmark CUSTOM.dic. This will enable the Change Default option which would, otherwise, be greyed out. Click on that and from the Dictionary Language drop-down, select All Languages. Save these settings by clicking on Ok and exit the window. You will now be able to add words to the MS Word dictionary using the context menu.

2] From the DEFAULT.dic dictionary file
The DEFAULT.dic file is a directory of all the words that you have added manually to your dictionary. It, too, can be modified to make space for more words.
Open the Run command by pressing the Windows + ‘R’ key combination. In the command line box, copy and paste the following path.
%AppData%\Microsoft\Spelling\en-US
You can, alternatively, open your File Manager and paste the path there.
This will take you to a folder named Spelling, where you will see three files. We have to work with the DEFAULT.dic file. Unfortunately, there is no standard application that can open ‘.dic’ extension files, so we will be making use of Notepad.
Right-click on the DEFAULT.dic file and click on Open With. It would then show a list of apps you can open ‘.dic’ files with, which would normally be empty. So, click on ‘More Apps’, and from the list that is subsequently shown select Notepad.
This will open a Notepad file with the words ‘#LID 1033’ in its first line. All you have to do now is simply add words you want to be a part of the dictionary to this notepad file. If you have to delete a word from your system’s dictionary, simply delete it from this document.
Keep in mind that you should only input one word per line. A sample file looks like this:
Save the file and you can now observe these newly added words to not show a red line below them.
3] Using the Custom Dictionaries dialog box
If you remember, we opened the Custom Dictionaries dialog box to enable the Add to Dictionary feature earlier on. You can use this dialog box to add words of your choice to the dictionary too.
Open MS Word and from the Top Menu, click on File. From the settings and show up on the left-side pane, select Options.
Click on Proofing and further select Custom Dictionaries. In the Custom Dictionaries window, click on CUSTOM.dic, or any dictionary of your choice, and further click on Edit Word List.
Under the Word(s) option, type the words that you wish to be a part of your dictionary and click on Add to save that. Words using this method can be added one by one, so repeat the process and close the window once you are done.
All the words that you have added, now or previously, will appear under the Dictionary. If you want to delete a word, simply click on it and select Delete.
We hope that this guide was able to satisfactorily answer your queries on how to add or remove words from your MS Word Dictionary.
