You cannot add your own words with a blank written form. ■ Words with a written form that begins with a number (for example, "99th" or a fraction like "½") appear in the list before words that begin with the letter "a".

To create a spoken form: 1 Find the word you want in the list by typing the first few letters in the Written form box of the Vocabulary Editor. NOTE If the word you want to edit doesn't appear in Vocabulary Editor, it means the word isn't in the active vocabulary. You need to add it to the active vocabulary before you can edit it. (See "View or edit your vocabulary" on page 123.) 2 Select the word. 3 Type the new spoken form into the Spoken Form box. Make sure you type it exactly as is it pronounced. 4 (optional) Make any changes, such as punctuation or capitalization, to the Written Form box. 5 Click Add. This adds the word with your changes.
