Very useful information. I finally see how you can turn off spell check for Uncapitalized Words and Sentences! And it was so obvious, don’t know why I didn’t see it myself. Thanks!

LOVE THIS!

I was an at-home proofreader and just started a job in the corporate world as the in-house proofreader for a company that produces all collateral for five of the Vegas casinos.

It is inconceivable how they have ever gotten this far using the InDesign to Word workflow process.

InCopy ALL THE WAY!

Thanks, keep them coming!

Jen,

The “Removed” words tab can import/export word lists. The idea here is that you add a word which the dictionary thinks is correct, but you want to have flagged as misspelled. (This works when using the Check Spelling dialog, but not via Dynamic Spelling it seems). You can find this in the “exceptions.txt” file for your dictionary language.

The “Ignored” words can’t be imported/exported. In fact the Ignored words only survive for the duration of your InDesign session.

Best regards,

This was really helpful, even months later.

Any information about the “removed” and “ignored” words tabs, and why they don’t allow adding words to a custom dictionary?

Thanks.

The Lonely One is here: http://indesignsecrets.com/type-off-a-path.php

But you don’t need to leave a pity comment. I kinda think of it as in “mint” condition. A real collector’s item

Okay okay I am now completely mollified. It’s no longer lonely and cold, actually it’s getting a little crowded in here.

Mike where is that post? I’ll post a comment-of-mercy.

Excuse Anne Marie if I am reading it one day late!

Thanks for the detailed explanation, not a lot of people take advantage of building dictionaries and adding words to them and thus have to spend a lot of manual proof-reading.

Rest assured many of us will invariably come often here to read your articles and tips of the week eek eek eek.
