1. Create a file list named something like: yourlist.txt. Add words, one per line, to yourlist.txt. Save your file to a location like this depending on where you installed Scrivener: c:\Program files\Scrivener\Aspell\bin\yourlist.txt Your list might look like:- malondialdehyde neuropsychology Silybin vagus 2. Convert file list to an Aspell word list. This command creates an Aspell wordlist with the en_US language specification (en_GB is another example which you could use): Move to the following directory with a command prompt: cd c:\Program files\Scrivener\Aspell\bin Type the following command and then press Enter: aspell --lang=en_US create master yourlist.rws < yourlist.txt 3. To finish adding it to the dictionary change into the dictionary directory by running the following: c:\Program files\Scrivener\Aspell\dict Then edit the following file with a program like Notepad++: en_US.multi Note: Windows Notepad will not work. Notepad++ is a free download and a great tool. Then add the following on a new line at the end of the file: add yourlist.rws Restart Scrivener and your words will now be updated in the main Aspell dictionary
