Hi.

Do you mean that you want your MBP to learn words so that you don't get the red underline?

Control (ctrl) click the underlined word and select 'Learn Spelling'.

I don't *think* you can actually add words to 'Dictionary' application.

Have fun

got a million words to do over again in Pages documents made on a Powerbook Panther with Pages 05. Isn't there a faster way than going thru all those words again? am now on a MacBook with Tiger and Pages 09.

Oh, it's a novel about King Tut, and they are the Egyptian names and words, in phonetic English. not even going to try the hieroglyph fonts yet. like Tutankhaten, Ankesenpaaten, Thebes, etc.
