Another option would be to have just the one copy of the corporate dictionary in a central location and edit all users' Word custom
dictionary settings (see under Tools|Options) to point to that location.

Word store customized spellings in Custom.dic. This is merely a very SIMPLE plain text list of words. All you have to do is to
update it and then distribute it to the users. How you do that depends on how you administer your networks. At its simplest, just
email the new custom.dic as an attachment to all your users with instructions to save it to the local hard drive overwriting the
existing custom.dic.

We have a Department that deals with State oversite offices, and the rules
are quite stringent. They also have quite a selection of terminology that
must be employed within a "properly" formatted document. Thus we are
constantly adding words to the (custom) dictionary.
In Word 2003, how can I set up a dictionary for them that is shared so that
all the words not found in the standard dictionary need only be added once,
by one individual. We do have many shares available to accomplish this, if
possible.
