I have played around a bit with user dictionaries and GRS has given you good pointers. If you want to collect words as you go, just do Tools-Options-Language Settings - Writing Aids and under "User-defined dictionaries" you have the option to create New. There is a limitation of about 5000 words (IIRC) on these dictionaries. If you think you will need more that that, let me know and I will tell you how to do it - it is a bit involved if you don't need the extra.
