Yes. > One more question: How you guys decide when to add a word to the > standard or a new dictionary rather than to the IgnoreAllList? Is it > just a matter of organization? Or is there a difference in the > functionality between the IgnoreAllList and the other dictionaries, > except that it is easier to click the Ignore All button when spellchecking? That's simple. The IgnoreAll dictionary is a dictionary that keeps all words that should not be marked as incorrect. And it works for all languages. This dictionary is NOT persistent and upon Office start gets filled with user data such as the name and some other in order to not have those marked. The usual way to add an entry to it is by simply clicking "Ignore All" in the spell check dialog or the context menu. That functionality could have been implemented by other means. But using the already existing dictionary mechanism for it allows you to look at it and remove entries that got added by accident. For the other dictionaries entries are only added if you explicitly choose that specific dictionary in the UI.
