Dear Lazywebs: Is there a way to get MS Word 2004 (Mac) to add Unicode words to a custom dictionary?

[sylvar]

I'm helping turtlebat23 edit a term paper, and when I tried to add συνεργούς to the custom dictionary, Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac [Version 11.5.0 (080429)] complained that it couldn't save it to the custom dictionary because it contained Unicode.

Is there some add-on or patch that would solve this, or will we just have to choose between "Ignore All" on every document or buying Word 2008?

...and now back to the editing.

Yup, that at least solved it for the current document. I must not have a Greek dictionary installed, because I doubt Aristotle's polytonic Greek is still considered correctly spelled according to the rules of modern Greek.
