Can't add certain words to dictionary

Community Beginner ,
Feb 23, 2018 Feb 23, 2018

Hello,

I have added a lot of words to the user dictionary in InDesign. But some words are impossible to add. When I right click them they seem to be added to the dictionary but still there's a red line underneath them.

I think that it might be words that I have accidentally clicked 'Ignore all' on.

How can I add them for good in the dictionary?

Thanks,

Samuel

Thank you for your answers.

I have found out now that it is certain words that I have already added earlier on. For some reason InDesign doesn't recognize the words. If I right click them and go to the user dictionary I can find the words, remove them from the dictionary and then go out right click and add them again, and then it works. I don't know why. But I'm happy that I found a solution.

Which dictionary is your preferences set to? Hunspell or Proximity?
