code to "remove" dictionaries for Word 2010

[Gil]

Hi All,



It's hard to believe how continuously usefully you all have been over the
years in serving the needs of this group. Thank you ever so much.



I'm having some trouble finding vba code to "remove" dictionaries for Word
2010.



The following code used to do it for Word 2003.



With CustomDictionaries

.ClearAll

End With



I understand that clearing the dictionaries does not "delete them" but
removes them from the active and inactive dictionaries list in Tools/
Options/ . File Locations.



I understand that there is usually a limit of about 10 dictionaries.
Sometimes I want to clear out the dictionaries and re-add some to make sure
my current ones are the ones I want.

What happens when you run that code in Word 2010?

Hi Doug,

The code does not seem to remove them from the list in either Word 2003
nor 2010 now. I must not have remembered clearly.

With Word2010 the old code inactivates the dictionaries, "un-ticking" the
box associated with each of them, but does not "remove" them. I believe
Word restricts the number of dictionaries that show in the dictionaries
list. If you have occasion to have dictionaries in different locations, I
think Word will block you from having more than 10 dictionaries.

If you have occasion to work on multiple computers, you do not want to mess
with the dictionaries used by the person most often at that computer. But
it's good to pop your dictionaries in place while you're there and then take
your dictionaries out when you leave.

I think my brain is too twisted on the subject to communicate clearly.
Maybe I should put it back on backburner for awhile and try again later.
I'll check for response, but I can tune back in when I am more coherent.
