Appleworks 6.2.9 spell check question

We have 2 eMacs running 10.4.8 and both having Appleworks 6.2.9.
In one when we run spell check if it finds a word it doesn't know we are
given the choose of adding it to the dictionary. In the other that
button is shaded and not available. Is there a way to turn it on? I
would like to be able to add things like my name so it would not always
ask if I wanted to change it.
TIA, Bruce

So I started looking around and found out how to do it! If anyone else
needs to know, here it is.

Creating a new user dictionary

When you install AppleWorks, it includes one empty user dictionary. You
can create additional user dictionaries if, for example, you're working
on a project using unusual spellings that wouldn't be correct in other
contexts.

To create a new user dictionary:
1 Choose Writing Tools from the Edit menu, then choose Select
Dictionaries from the submenu.
2 Click User Dictionary, then click New.
3 Type a name for the new user dictionary.
If desired, choose a different location for the new dictionary. It's a
good idea to save the dictionary in the Dictionaries folder of the
AppleWorks Essentials folder (within the AppleWorks application folder).
4 Click Save.
Note: The new user dictionary is now the active dictionary. To use a
different user dictionary, select it as the active user dictionary, as
described above.
