Spellchecker in Entourage

H

HAL KUSHNER

When I try to add a new spelling which I often use (tonite, thru, etc), my
own unique shorthand, the Œadd¹ button on the spellchecker is grayed out. I
can¹t find a pref which allows me to make it active. Is my dictionary full?
Any ideas.

Thanks/

Sideways suggestion, unless you are wedded to such deliberate
misspellings--use Word to set tonite and thru to AutoCorrect to the correct
spelling--then you can type your own abbreviation and not worry about it,
and your own unique shorthand can be used in typing all sorts of documents,
not just email.

And actually, I suspect that if you add such things to the dictionary for
Entourage, they will be there in all Office applications, which could create
problems in documents more formal than email? Of course, if you only use
Entourage, this is not a relevant comment.
