• On Mac, Control-click the word, then choose Learn Spelling.

In Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on Mac, you can also choose Ignore Spelling if you no longer want that app to mark this word as misspelled. To add, edit, or remove the words in your iWork app's Ignored Words list, choose Pages > Preferences, choose Auto-Correction, then click Ignored Words. Click the add button (+) or the remove button (-) to add or remove words. Or click on a word to edit its spelling.

Word 2011 for Mac lets you create, edit, and add new dictionaries to its collection of dictionaries. Perhaps your discipline, science, or profession uses a lot of specialized terms not found in the Word default dictionary, or maybe you need to add a dictionary for a language not supplied with Office 2011 for Mac.

A dictionary is simply a list of words with a paragraph mark after each word (created by pressing Return or Enter) in which the words are saved as a file with a .dic extension. Dictionary files aren’t different for Mac or Windows, but beginning with Word 2011, Word on the Mac may demand dictionaries that were saved a special way in order to support UniCode fonts.
