User Dictionaries
You can increase the vocabulary of the spelling checker by adding words to the Dictionary. When
you add a word to the Dictionary it is “learned” for all applications that use the spelling checker.
The words in the spelling checker are “User” dependent. If other “Users” have login rights to the
same computer, each User has his or her own dictionary available in all applications.
Edit the Dictionary
You can add to and/or subtract words from your Dictionary any time the Spelling window is open.
▶
Click Learn if the spelling checker finds a word not in its list but which you want to include.
▶
Type words directly into the Replace With box and click Learn.
Remove words from the dictionary
There are three ways you can remove a word from the dictionary so that the spelling checker will
resume flagging it in any document or application.
▶
Type the word directly into the Replace With box of the spelling checker and click Forget.
▶
Select it in the document and choose the menu command Edit > Spelling > Forget Spelling.

Remember that all words in the User Dictionary are not case sensitive.
Using the Nisus Thesaurus
The Nisus Thesaurus which is included with Nisus Writer Pro gives you a fast electronic thesaurus
integrated with Nisus Writer Pro.
Nisus Thesaurus knows the English language. Using the WordNet lexical reference database,
Thesaurus includes over 120,000 words and knows how they relate to each other. When you lookup
a word in Nisus Thesaurus, it will show you related words in six categories. With its built-in
dictionary, Thesaurus knows that sometimes the same word means different things. So it will never
confuse the related words for “an orange” and “the color orange.”
