Hi =?Utf-8?B?TGVzbGll?=,
I have some new custom dictionaries that all my users should use. How can
custom dictionaries be added other than by getting them to do it themselves?
I investigated using the Custom Maintenance Wizard; it doesn't cover custom
dictionaries.
We use Word 2003 on Windows 2000/XP
Probably best to direct this question to the office.setup newsgroup. I think
there are two basic steps: finding out where Word will look for the
dictionaries, and making sure Word knows to use these new dictionaries.
A custom dictionary can be saved in any location, but by default Word should
pick up anything in the folder where the *.lex files are. There appears to be
a Registry key for the dictionaries Word currently recognizes:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Shared Tools/Proofing tools/Custom dictionaries
But, as I say, the folks in office.setup can probably tell you what the
"right" way is to do this...
