| | changing and finding custom dictionary in vista? Office is loaded but I will not be keeping it. I believe that I mis-typed....and then let my mouse button slip...and erroneously entered a number of mis-spelled word as "add to dictionary" in my custom dictionary. I cannot find the dictionary listing to verify what I may have mis-typed. Using WORD I can get to a dictionary...but..it doesn't show any listings..

From my memory, it is a text file within the actual Windows Mail folder within the Microsoft folder, and not Proof. I could be wrong, but I do not think so, as I have my entire Windows Mail store folder on a different RAID-1 partition. I am unable to check right now. ss. |

| | Re: changing and finding custom dictionary in vista? Office is loaded but I will not be keeping it. Windows Mail (therefore Vista) does indeed have spell check, which "must" use a dictionary - somewhere. The spell check is off by default in Windows Mail. But, as you say - if the person has Office installed the computer, Office will use it's dictionary as the dictionary of choice. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) "Andre Da Costa[ActiveWin]" <andred25@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eYLz1OcFIHA.5228@xxxxxx Quote: > Windows Vista does not have a system dictionary, this is an issue related > to Microsoft 'Office Word', try posting the issue in the appropriate > newsgroup: > microsoft.public.word.spelling.grammar > -- > Andre > Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com > My Vista Quickstart Guide: > http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry > "rich" <rich99sue@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:%23imLk8bFIHA.5160@xxxxxx Quote: >>I believe that I mis-typed....and then let my mouse button slip...and >>erroneously entered a number of mis-spelled word as "add to dictionary" in >>my custom dictionary. >> >> I cannot find the dictionary listing to verify what I may have mis-typed. >> Using WORD I can get to a dictionary...but..it doesn't show any >> listings..
