When you add words with the Dictionary
Manager, they are added to the custom dictionary. The standard dictionaries are never
modified.
To add a word to a custom
dictionary:
Open the Dictionary Manager.
In the Dictionaries area, select the language for the word
to add and click the Lock button ().
The Lock button checks out the custom dictionary file for your exclusive
use. The Vocabulary area lists all the words in the standard
dictionary for that language.
Right-click anywhere in the Dictionaries area and select
Add New Word.
The New Word dialog is displayed.
Enter the word to add and click OK.
One of the following messages is displayed:
Similar word to '<your_word>' detected in dictionary. Do you
wish to add this word anyway?
This message indicates that the
dictionary contains a word that is very similar to the one you are adding
(for example, ditaval and Ditaval) or that this word is already in the
dictionary. Click OK to add the word or
Cancel to enter another one.
Word '<your_word>' was successfully added to custom
dictionary '<dictionary>'.
The word was added. Click
OK to continue.
To add more words to the dictionary, repeat the procedure from Step 3.
To commit your changes, click Check In
Document ().
Inform users of the changes and request that they close and
reopen their DITA CMS to apply the changes.
