Custom Dictionary in Works XP?

[Guest]

Is there a way to create and edit a custom dictionary in
Microsoft Works XP? In my 95 edition all I had to do was
go to the Options dropdown menu to edit the custom
dictionary. I could even print the contents. On XP the
only options for dictionaries are US. UK. etc. I even
reinstalled our WorksSuite2001, thinking it might contain
the same feature but no luck. I used this option quite a
bit. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks.

Create a new custom dictionary
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab.
Click Dictionaries.
Click New.
In the File name box, type a name for the custom dictionary.
Click Save.
If you want to use the dictionary only when checking text in another language,
select the dictionary's name, and then click the language in the Language box.
Before you can use the custom dictionary to check spelling, you must activate
it: In the Custom Dictionaries dialog box, make sure the check box beside the
dictionary's name is selected.
You can now add words to the custom dictionary while you check spelling. Or,
add, edit, or delete words directly in the custom dictionary file.
