The US English exclusion dictionary is ExcludeDictionaryEN0409.lex. The UK
English exclusion dictionary is ExcludeDictionaryEN0809. The numbers are the
HEX versions of the decimal numbers shown in Word 2007 help under 'Locale
identification numbers for language-specific files'. Thus English US -
1033 - in Hex is 409 (0409). English UK - 2057 - in Hex is 809 (0809). The
simplest way to transcribe the numbers is to use the scientific calculator
view of the Windows calculator. Click the 'Dec' radio button, enter the
number eg 1049 (Russian) and then click the 'Hex' radio button and you get
419. The exclusion dictionary for Russian would therefore be
ExcludeDictionaryEN0419.lex
But you still have to restart Word for it to read the change

Graham may be right (probably is). I was tinkering with this earlier.
Didn't work for me either. However, I had two English languages
enabled (U.K. and U.S.). I only edited the U.S. exclusion dictionary
and it didn't work. After I disabled the U.K. language it worked. I
don't remember if I restarted Word in this process or not.

I need to tell Word 2007 (running under Vista) to "flag" some words.
For example, I want the speller to flag "manger" as an incorrect
spelling (I sometimes type that, when I actually meant manager)
I've tried my best to follow the Word 2007 "help" instructions . . .
. but the Exclude Dictionary does not seem to be paying attention .
. . it still accepts "manger" as an accepted word (does not flag
it). Here's what I've done . . .
TO CREATE AN "EXCLUDE" DICTIONARY:
1. C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof
2. Click on file: ExcludeDictionaryEN0409
3. Open with MS-Word
4. Type the word to ad in LOWER case only, followed by hard return
5. Save
What have I done wrong?
Thanks so much
