Webmail: Creating and Editing a Personal Dictionary

The Spelling function allows you to create a personal dictionary of terms. This allows you to amass a collection of frequently used special terms and names that are recognized by Spelling as correct spellings. For instructions on using Spelling, see Checking for Spelling Errors.

To create a personal dictionary:

For a red, underlined word in the Spelling page, click Add.
Result: A personal dictionary is created with that word. Repeat with any red, underlined word that you want added to your dictionary.

To edit your personal dictionary:

  1. In the Spelling page for a composition, click Edit.
    Result: The Dictionary page displays.
  2. Select a word in the dictionary list, and click Delete.
    Result: The word is removed from the list.
  3. Click Done.
    Result: You are returned to the Spelling page.
