Custom Dictionary

[Rich Park]

Can somebody help?

I'm getting the issue described above where, as I open an document in
MS Word in my MacBook (Mac OS X 10.5.7), the message shows up which
reads: "The Custom Dictionary 'Custom Dictionary' is not available."

I've tried to going to preferences (Spelling and Grammar) and tried
creating a new Custom Dictionary, but then I get an error message
saying "The dictionary path or name is not vaild."

Anyone?

Thanks so much.

No, until you tell us which version of Word you're using, we can't help.
The answers are different for the various versions.

Open the dictioanry itself in Word, make a slight omdification in the
file (add a space, then remove it for isntance), then save.
Hopefully it will fix a potential corruption in the encoding of the file
and you'll be fine,
