Storing hyphenation and spelling exceptions inside a document makes it easier to treat
text consistently when you move that document to other computers. For this reason, you
can also control the location of exceptions from the Create Package Folder dialog box (see
"Packaging files for handoff" on page
the document makes it easier to use the same list of exceptions for multiple documents.
Changing hyphenation and spelling dictionary preferences
Use the Dictionary panel of the Preferences dialog box to specify how InDesign handles
hyphenation and spelling dictionaries. By default, InDesign uses Proximity dictionaries to
verify spelling and to hyphenate words. If you have installed hyphenation or spelling
components from a different company, you can select a different vendor for each installed
language.
To specify hyphenation and spelling preferences:
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows and Mac OS 9), or InDesign > Prefer-
ences > Dictionary (Mac OS 10).
2 For Language, specify the language for which you want to select a different vendor of
hyphenation or spelling components.
3 If you have installed a hyphenation component from a company other than Adobe,
select it in the Hyphenation menu.
4 If you have installed a spelling dictionary component from a company other than
Adobe, select it in the Spelling menu.
5 In the Compose Using menu in the Hyphenation Exceptions menu, do one of
the following:
To compose text using the hyphenation exceptions list stored in the external user
•
dictionary, choose User Dictionary.
To compose text using the hyphenation exceptions list stored inside the document,
•
choose Document.
To compose text using both lists, choose User Dictionary and Document. This is the
•
default setting.
6 To add the exceptions list stored in the external user dictionary to the exceptions list
stored within the document, select Merge User Dictionary into Document.
Note: You may want to deselect the Merge User Dictionary into Document option if you
work with many partners or clients; for example, if you're a service provider, you probably
don't want your user dictionary merged with every customer's file.
7 To recompose all stories when certain settings are changed, select Recompose All
Stories When Modified. Selecting this option recomposes stories when you change the
Compose Using settings (see step 5) or when you use the Edit Dictionary command to add
or remove words. Recompose All Stories When Modified is off by default, because recom-
posing all stories may take some time, depending on the amount of text in the document.
8 Click OK.
