Custom dictionary in Word is full
I cannot add any more words to my custom dictionary. I've deleted a number
of words from it. In addition, I created a new custom dictionary, activated it and made it the default. I also re-started Word. But when I try to add a word to the dictionary thru the spell checker or by right-clicking on my mouse, a dialog box appears telling me that the custom dictionary is full so the word couldn't be added. Any ideas?? |

G'day "KiwiFire" ,
Word always adds words to custom.dic even if another is set as default. You can have up to 9 dictionaries. I use dictionary names like Jargon, Names, Technical, Internal and so on.

Kia Ora Steve!
I tried creating a new dictionary, but still get the message that the dictionary is full. Custom.dic is only 2mb and contains less than 50 words. This is frustrating. Any other ideas??

Two megabytes?! If a custom dictionary contains fewer than fifty words but measures 2 megabytes in size, there is something seriously fscked up with that custom dictionary. I suggest copying *just the words* to Notepad (to eliminate any formatting etc) and save the file as custom.txt. Trash your old custom.dic and then create a new one from custom.txt. The simplest way is to rename it custom.dic and put it in your Application data\Microsoft\Proof folder. -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |
