I got really tired of all the red underlining correction due to incomplete dictionaries in my Microsoft Word 2007 while writing the medical report for my seminar on Wednesday so I took a minute off to search for an add-on to make it correct it properly.
I didn't find one that's legit for MS Word directly but I found out that there's another way of doing it.
MS Word use files called *.dic which is simply a text file with words lined up alphabetically.
There's even an option to add you own dictionaries stored in the folder:
In Windows 7
\\PC-root(C:)\Users\'Yourname'\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Uproof\
By downloading this medical dictionary to your PC, unzipping it with WinRar or WinZip etc., and putting it into this specific folder, or equally located in Windows XP or Vista, you can open Word and go to the path looking something like this:
Word Start Button > Word Options > Language Options > Own Dictionaries
There you may import your own dictionary and by adding the file you just saved you're done with a fresh word list of medical terminology.
