Set the default language dictionary for the current document
You can change the default language dictionary for a document or for all new documents you create. Changing the
default dictionary in an existing document doesn’t affect text that has already been created or text that you type into an
existing text frame.
Use the Character Style or Paragraph Style panel to set a specific dictionary for a specific style. The Language menu
appears in the Advanced Character Formats section.
1 Open the document.
2 Select the Selection tool from the toolbar and make sure no items are selected in the document.
3 Choose Type > Character.
4 Choose the desired dictionary from the Language menu on the Character panel. If you cannot see the language
option in the Character panel, select Show Options and then select your language from the list.
Set the default language dictionary for all new documents
1 Start InCopy , but do not open a document.
2 Choose Type > Character.
3 Choose the desired dictionary from the Language pop-up menu on the Character panel. If you cannot see the
language option in the Character panel, select Show Options and then select your language from the list.
Remove, relink, and reorder user dictionaries
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS).
2 From the Language menu, choose the language to which the dictionary belongs.
3 Do any of the following:
• To remove a dictionary from the list, select it and click the Remove User Dictionary icon . You must have at
least one dictionary per language.
• If the language dictionary includes a question mark icon next to it, select the dictionary, click the Relink User
Dictionary icon , and then locate and open the user dictionary.
• To change the order of the user dictionaries, drag and drop them. The order of the dictionaries in the list is the
order in which the dictionaries are checked.
Add words to dictionaries
If, during a spell check, InDesign displays an unfamiliar word in the Check Spelling dialog box, select the dictionary
from the Add To menu, and then click Add. You can also use the Dictionary dialog box to let you specify the target
dictionary and language, and to indicate how words are added to an exception word list.
For stand-alone stories (stories not linked to an InDesign layout), you can add words to the language dictionaries.
Customizing your dictionaries ensures that any unique vocabulary you use is recognized and treated correctly.
1 Choose Edit > Spelling > User Dictionary.
2 In the Language menu, choose a language. Each language contains at least one dictionary. If you want the word to
be added to all languages, choose All Languages.
3 In the Target menu, choose the dictionary where you want to store the word. The Target menu lets you store the
changes in an external user dictionary or in any open document.
4 In the Dictionary List menu, choose Added Words.
5 In the Word box, type or edit the word to be added to the word list.
