Default Adding to user dictionary in MS Word 2008

Hi all

I want to add some words to the dictionary that MS Word 2008 uses, but when I right click the option to add is greyed out:

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? (apart from using MS Word and not Pages)

Thanks

Tom

Thanks - I did have a custom dictionary set up, but it must have been corrupted or something. I deleted it and started again and it works fine now!
