Outlook 2003 will not create custom dictionary
When I try to edit my custom dictionary I get the normal msgbox "No custom
dictionary exists. Would you like to create a custom dictionary?" and press OK but then Explorer opens in folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033". This occurs in one user's Terminal Services session. Other users running OL on the same server do not have this problem. -- Regards Tom |

The correct path is: C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "ThomasAJ" wrote in message ...

ALL are using TS.
I went to the problem user's folder (...\Proof\) and copied a CUSTOM.DIC file there. Then tried to edit it but still got Explorer opening up as before. Actually this problem now occurs for 2 out of 4 TS users. -- Regards Tom "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: are the others using terminal services too?

Thomas,
here is the solution This occurs when a user is using microsoft word as there spell checker, but do not have a custom dictionary installed on microsoft word. Open up Microsoft Word on that users profile, Go Tools Options Custom Dictionaries Checkbox a Custom Dictionary or make one. Apply changes, Exit Word Load outlook and your done Jason |

This solution does not work in my case.
I was using OL-2003-Pro for years wiithut problems. Couple of weeks ago I upgraded to OL-2007-Ultimate. It did not like me and I installed back OL-2003 with Word as editor, as always I did, but it has only 4 English dictionaries available and I need at least the Spanish one. Where is it. It's not under where someone said in this case. How can I get it?
