50,000+ Medical Word List for Microsoft Office Spell Check

By , October 25, 2009 at 10:03 am

This is an entry for me as much as it is to my medical colleagues who have probably run into the dreaded spell check for any medical manuscript that you are trying to proof.   The good news is there is a 5 minute fix that adds 50,000+ medical words from the open source project OpenMedSpel so that your spell checkers for all your Microsoft Office products now help correct your errors.  Instructions are as follows:

  1. Download and unzip the word list from OpenMedSpel (openmedspel100.zip)
  2. Open Open Med Spel 100.txt and select all (Ctrl-A), and copy (Ctrl-C)
  3. Find the file CUSTOM.txt in %appdata%  > Microsoft > UProof
  4. Paste (Ctrl-V) into CUSTOM.txt and save the file

Your Microsoft Office apps will now spell check by cross-referencing this word list!  Enjoy.
