• To modify the list of additions to the selected Target word list, choose Added Words.
• To modify the list of words that are flagged as misspelled, choose Removed Words.

6 Click Done.
Export a word list
You can export word lists to a text file (.txt) and then import that list of words into a user dictionary in InDesign. The
words in the text file must be separated by a space, tab, or paragraph return. You can export added words and removed
words, but you cannot export ignored words, which are used only in the current session.
1 Choose Edit > Spelling > User Dictionary.
2 Choose the language from the Language menu and the dictionary from the Target menu that contains the list of
words you want to export.
3 Click Export, specify the file name and location, and then click Save.
The list of words is saved in a text file. You can edit this list of words in any text editor, and then import the word list.
You can also send the word list to others, who can import it into their user dictionaries.
Import a word list
1 Choose Edit > Spelling > User Dictionary.
2 Choose the language from the Language menu and the dictionary from the Target menu.
3 Click Import, locate the text file containing your list of spelling exceptions, and then click Open.
Change dictionary preferences
Use Dictionary preferences to specify how InDesign handles hyphenation and spelling dictionaries. Most languages in
InDesign use Proximity dictionaries to verify spelling and to hyphenate words. If you have installed hyphenation or
spelling components from a different company, you can select a different vendor for each installed language.
Note: The Dictionary Preferences dialog box does not enable you to specify the language dictionary used for spell checking
or hyphenating text. This dialog box is used to specify which hyphenation and spelling plug-ins InDesign uses for the
language specified in the Language field. If you use only the default hyphenation and spelling plug-in, you don't need to
change any settings in the Dictionary Preferences dialog box. If you install a different spelling or hyphenation plug-in
provided by a third-party developer, it appears as an option in the Hyphenation Vendor and Spelling Vendor menus in this
dialog box. This would let you select one vendor's hyphenation or spelling engine for some languages and another vendor's
hyphenation or spelling engine for other languages.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS).
2 For Language, specify the language for which you want to edit settings or change the hyphenation or spelling vendor.
3 Create, add, or remove user dictionaries. (See Create or add user dictionaries.)
