Spell Check Options and Dictionaries

You can access Spell Check Options and Dictionaries in two ways:

• From the Edit menu, select Preferences, then Spell Check.
• Start Spell Check. When EndNote detects a misspelled word, the Check Spelling dialog appears. An Options button and a Dictionaries button are available on the dialog.

Note:  If you are unable to add dictionaries, or to add words to or edit dictionaries, it is probably because your Windows security settings are preventing you from making changes in the \\Program Files (x86) folder. The best option is to copy the C:\Program Files (x86)\EndNote 2025\Spell folder and all its contents to another location, then load the dictionary files from that location. This should allow you to make changes to the files or create your own dictionary files.

For information about the Spell Check Options and Dictionaries preferences, including a list of dictionaries supplied with EndNote, see Spell Check Preferences.
