Add a Word for Spell Checking

Post by gibravo »

Hi!

How can I add a word to the dictionary or create a personal dictionary? I found no automatic way to do that in Texmaker and when I tried to add it manually at the bottom of the dictionary file it did not work.

Thank you!

Hi,

Write any word of your choice (in your tex file), right click -> file -> dictionary manager -> User (Addon) {in drop down menu choose user dictionary} -> check "enable option" save it and see I hope this will work.

Thank you Hari.
I tried your solution, but the menu you quote does not appear in my version of Texmaker (3.0.2). Which version are you referring to?
Besides, I finally succeded in adding manually some words at the end of the .dic file. It uses a code that I don't fully understand, but adding words is feasible.

Working in TexShop on a Mac, you can control-click a word and then click "Learn Spelling" in the sub-menu. Thanks for this page, it was helpful. Regards, ADR.
