XCLN: Custom Dictionary Is Not Used for Suggestions

ID: Q153086

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY

When you spell check a document, the custom dictionary (Custom.dic) file is not used when it makes suggestions for misspelled words. This behavior is not consistent with Microsoft Word version 7.0, which allows a user the ability to include (or exclude) the Custom.dic file for suggestions for misspelled words.

NOTE: The Custom.dic does suggest capitalization changes, but no actual misspellings.

CAUSE

This is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The CUSTOM.DIC file may be located in one of the following locations:


   C:\&lt;windows directory&gt;\MSAPPS\PROOF

-or-


   C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof

Additional query words: spelling suggesting
