Default Where is Word 2003 default dictionary?

I've only got a custom dictionary, but not a default one. Almost no words
beyond the, and, a, etc. ever pass. Does anyone know the default location
and/or file name for the built-in dictionary?

Check the language of the text. Spell check is language based. (CTRL+A -
Tools Language Set language)

If you are referring to your default custom dictionary it should be at
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC.
In Tools, Options, Spelling & Grammar you can select a dictionary and
click Change Default to make it the default.
