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:\<windows directory>\MSAPPS\PROOF

-or-

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