Thumbs down Default Custom Dictionary Based on Document

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the default custom dictionary based on the current document? I use word on private letters and work-based manuscripts, which each have their own specialist vocabulary. It is easy enough to have two custom dictionaries, but when I right-click to add a word to the dictionary, there is no choice of which dictionary to add to; it always goes in the current default one. If I change from working on a private letter to a manuscript, it is a real pain to have to remember to go into the proofing settings to change the default dictionary. There must be a better way of doing this. Can the default dictionary perhaps be set in a template? Or - as a last resort - is it possible to have a macro to change the current default dictionary; then at least I could assign it to a keyboard shortcut.

I'm tearing my hair out looking for a solution to this. Any help or advice would be very, very much appreciated.

Best wishes, Patrick
