“Preferences — Application — Spell Check.”
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, choose Utilities > Check Spelling > Auxiliary
Dictionary, enter a name, and then click New.
To add words to an auxiliary dictionary, choose Utilities > Check Spelling > Edit
Auxiliary.
Beginning with QuarkXPress 2015, Auxiliary Dictionarys are saved in .xml format. 
You will still be able to open legacy version documents and auxiliary dictionaries in
QuarkXPress 2015 and later versions, but those dictionaries will get converted to
.xml format.
Only one auxiliary dictionary at a time can be open for use with an document. An
auxiliary dictionary remains associated with an document 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
document’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 laout or story, choose an option
from the Utilities > Word and Character Count submenu: Layout or Story. The
Story option will only be available if there is a story selected.
