Spell check in Access split database

I have a question involving spell check in an Access split database.  If the back-end file is on a server and the front-end file is on every user&#39;s computer and one user adds a word to the dictionary, does that work then become acceptable for all users?  Or does it become acceptable then for just that one user?

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
