This may show my ignorance, but where in the Writer's Guide are there instructions on what can be done with the spellchecker? What are the proper steps to create new user-defined dictionaries and edit the dictionaries that already exist?

Hmm... I was sure this was in the Writer Guide, but I can't find it either. I know I had written it up, because it's in my O'Reilly book, but somehow it did not get into the Writer Guide.

This info should probably be put into either Ch 2 or Ch3, each of which has some related information. Ch2 has setup info for the spelling checker, so perhaps it would go best there, and be cross-referenced from the part of Ch3 that talks about using the spelling checker. Comments and opinions welcome as to the best place for this info.

I think Rick answered your question about how to create dictionaries. If not, I can post here a copy of what I have written about creating, editing and using custom dictionaries, including exception dictionaries (a very useful tool).
