Auxiliary dictionaries
To prevent a word from being flagged by the spell checker, create an auxiliary dictionary
and add the word to that auxiliary dictionary. To create an auxiliary dictionary:
• (Windows) Choose Utilities > Auxiliary Dictionary, enter a name, and then click New
• (Mac OS X) Choose Utilities > Check Spelling > Auxiliary Dictionary, enter a name,
and then click New
To add words to an auxiliary dictionary:
• (Windows) Choose Utilities > Edit Auxiliary
• (Mac OS X) Choose Utilities > Check Spelling > Edit Auxiliary
Beginning with QuarkXPress 2015, Auxiliary Dictionary will be saved in .xml format.
Users will still be able to open legacy version documents and auxiliary dictionaries in
QuarkXPress 2015, but those dictionaries will get converted to .xml format.
Only one auxiliary dictionary at a time can be open for use with an article. An auxiliary
dictionary remains associated with an article until you click Close in the Auxiliary
Dictionary dialog box or until you open a different auxiliary dictionary.
Auxiliary dictionaries are saved as separate files on your hard drive. The path to an
article's auxiliary dictionary is saved with the project, so if you move an open auxiliary
dictionary to another folder or volume, the application will be unable to find it.
To create or open an auxiliary dictionary without closing the Check Spelling palette,
click Add while a word you want to keep is highlighted.
To add all suspect words to an open auxiliary dictionary, press Option+Shift/Alt+Shift
and click Add All.
Counting words and characters
To display a count of the words and characters in a story, choose Utilities > Word
and Character Count.
