WD97: New Custom.dic Is Not Created in the TOOLS-PATH Directory

• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When Word automatically creates the Custom.dic file, the file is not created in the location specified by the Tools-Path setting in the Windows Registry.

Instead, Word creates the file in the shared proofing tools directory, usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, click Options on the Tools menu, select the File Locations tab, and note the location of the "Tools" file type. After Word creates your Custom.dic file, copy it to this directory.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
