Post subject: changing and finding custom dictionary in vista? Office is loaded but I will not be keeping it. Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>general (more info?)
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..
It would allow me to find and perhaps remove an erroneously spelled
word,...but I'd have to know what words I mistyped first??? . Any help
appreciated. thanks Rich

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

Ok
Try browsing to:
C:\Users\%UserName%\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof
and see if it's there.

Actually it should be here in vista:
C:\Users\&UserName&\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Proof
I just booted into Vista to double check.

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.

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.
