Add Custom Words in Sharepoint Spell Checker

Imagine you can't find any way to add your custom words to put on ignore list during your spell checking. Its frustrating isn't it. But as i can see Microsoft is always particular in hiding their way of coding and left us developers to explore the unimaginable capabilities of Object Model.

Today after a struggle for 15 mins, i found the solution to add up your own custom dictionary words in sharepoint. No worries now u can tell spell checker to ignore your love words.

Oh ok Back to the point.
1) Create a document library in your root site of your publishing folder ( this is where you will get your spelling feature), and give the name of the library as "Spelling".
2) Then upload a text file named “Custom Dictionary.txt”. Put your magic dictionary words separated by a single line. That is each words in each line.

There you go, do a IISRESET you are done..

DO post your comments if you find this helpful.
