One Note Dictionary Mac

Is there a way to upload a new dictionary to OneNote 2016?  I have found the option to do this in word but the same path in OneNote does not have this feature.  Perhaps there is another way to solve my problem.  Anything info will help.  It is getting very frustrating when Spell Check underlines almost every word I type despite the spelling being correct.  I use a lot of medical terminology.  I have to constantly "right click" then add to dictionary.  I don't think I will ever get this problem solved this way bc there are too many terms.  I have thought of just turning it off but I would like to keep the ability to spell check.  

Thanks in advance!

    I am on a Mac, apologies if this got mislabeled.  The drop down menu did not have an option for Mac OS.  So there dictionary files that you can upload to word to expand on the terms in the spell check data base (sorry I don't know the proper terminology here).  In word under spell check preferences you have the option to add a dictionary. In my case I would find or purchase a file that has medical terminology (they usually end in ".dic").  I can then upload it to word and spell check would then recognize medical terms (that are not found in the original dictionary).  But I cannot find the option in Onenote.  This image is what the menu looks like in word. I cannot find this option in OneNote.

    One Note Dictionary Mac and Office 2016 > Microsoft Office OneNote > Office for Windows 10 Desktop?

    Are you on Mac OS or Windows? I'm not quite getting the term, uploading dictionary to OneNote? You mean opening a dictionary file in OneNote or adding words to Onenote?
