This article was previously published under Q107082 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 (Word 7.0), the Winword6.ini file (Word 6.x for Windows), or the
Word Settings 6 file (Word 6.x for the Macintosh).
Instead, Word creates the file in the shared proofing tools directory,
usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof (Windows 95)
C:\Windows\Msapps\Proof (Windows 3.1), or the Macintosh HD:Microsoft folder
(Macintosh).
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, click Options on the Tools menu, select the
File Locations tab, and note the location of the "Dictionaries" (Word 6.x-
7.x) 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 versions of Word
listed above.
