Hmm. How are your dictionary preferences set up (go to “preferences” and then to “dictionary.”

There are two boxes (one for merge user dictionary into document & the other is recompose all stories when modified).

Are those checked or unchecked.

I’m don’t remember, but I think (and may be wrong) that if you add to user dictionary while the document is open, you either need to merge it or recompose. Not sure which.

Additionally–once you add it, and say done: Does the word still appear in your dictionary? If so you may need to recompose or merge.

Also be sure that your word was set for “case sensitive.”

And be sure to select “user dictionary and document” in your dictionary preferences.

Also, since the document was open when you added to your dictionary, maybe it’s possible that it won’t recompose or merge until you close it and reopen?
