Hi,

 

Is there a Merriam-Webster file that can be added to a file and used as the User dictionary?

 

Thank you.

I don't believe that Merriam-Webster has created such a file.

 

InDesign uses Hunspell dictionaries for most languages to verify spelling and to hyphenate words. You can add words to each dictionary to customize it. You can assign different languages to text, and InDesign uses the appropriate dictionary to handle spelling and hyphenation. You can create additional user dictionaries, and you can import or export word lists saved in a plain text file.
