Appreciate your help though…I'm just stuck with what my workplace has right now…*sigh* they'll eventually upgrade.
In the mean time, I'm really thankful that word 2003 does accept custom dictionaries!

Thanks for this!!!

Apparently 2003 doesn't support custom dictionaries the way Word does. You may be able to manually open the PowerPoint main dictionary and paste them there, but if I recall correctly, the built-in dictionary isn't stored in plain text format like custom dictionaries. I don't use Office 2003 anymore, so I can't be sure…

Unfortunately that seems to be geared for the 2007 version…can't seem to make that work in the 2003 version (there isn't a proof tab in the options on 2003). Any other thoughts?

Absolutely loved this, saved me constantly trying to update the silly dictionary that comes with word!
Does anyone know if there's a way to use this dictionary in powerpoint's spellchecking? I can't find a way to add a custom dictionary in that program, but as I do presentations often enough, it'd be nice to not have to start adding words to that dictionary…

Thanks,
Anne

Thank you so much! I am a spelling fanatic so it was really annoying to me that Word underlined medical terms as spelling mistakes. This dictionary worked like a charm and I am forever grateful! Great job!

This product is very useful. Thanks.

One suggestion: The utility is very much compromised by the fact you do not list plurals for many words. This still means Word recognises them as potential errors, and they need to be manually checked…

eg: Biguanides, Craniopharyngiomas, etc etc etc

Also: link to Russel Butler's Australian version not working.

Good luck!

Thanks so much for this! I just stumbled across this. I knew someone, somewhere, had to of thought of doing something like this! I'm just starting out in medical transcription and this is a life saver! Thank you again!
