Dictionary?
I opened Word XP this morning and a warning message appears that states:
"The Custom dictionary C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\..... is not available." I do not remember setting up a custom dictionary. Where is the regular dictionary that Office XP uses located and how do I get Office XP to utilize the regular dictionary again? Thank you in advance for your responses. |

Dictionary?
The default custom dictionary, Custom.dic, is created by Word and is
available for you to add words to. When the spelling checker marks a word as misspelled and you want it to be accepted, you can right-click on the word and choose "Add to Dictionary." It is added to Custom.dic, which can also be edited directly via the Spelling & Grammar tab of Tools | Options. You cannot edit Word's built-in lexicon. As to why the dictionary is not available, has there been any change in permissions on this folder? -- Suzanne S.

Freddy,
The custom dictionary is a file where all the words are located which you add yourself during the course of a spell check. Normally you should find it he C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof Luc "Freddy" schreef in bericht ...
