## NAME

spell-add-word - Add a word to the main dictionary

## SYNOPSIS

n spell-add-word ["word"]

## DESCRIPTION

spell-add-word adds words to the last dictionary added using the command add-dictionary(2). If no argument is supplied the user is prompted for the word and rule flags, only a 'Good' word can be added (see below). If an argument n is given then the next n words from the current buffer are added. The words must take one of the following three forms:

`xxxx` - Good word `xxxx` with no spell rules allowed
`xxxx/abc` - Good word `xxxx` with spell rules `abc` allowed
`xxxx>yyyy` - Erroneous word with an auto-replace to `yyyy`

## NOTES

spell-add-word is a macro defined in file `spellutl.emf`. It is not defined by default so `spellutl.emf` must be executed first using execute-file(2).

## SEE ALSO

add-dictionary(2), edit-dictionary(3), save-dictionary(2), delete-dictionary(2).
