Exclude Dictionary not working?
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 €śEXCLUDE€ť 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 |

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. Graham Mayor wrote: You also need to restart Word.

Jim,
The ExcludeDictionaryEN0409.lex file should be saved as a text file (Unicode), not as a Word file. I have just tried with this word (manger) right now and it works. It's interesting you want to remove this very word, which I mentioned in the post below on our blog when I discussed exclude dictionaries. http://blogs.msdn.com/naturallanguag...ictionary.aspx As I was saying, removing "manger" also means the word will be flagged if you type something like "Jesus was born in a manger". The Office 2007 contextual speller flags (with blue squiggly lines) some contexts in which "manger" is used erroneously, without having to put it in the exclude dictionary (e.g. if you type "I wanted to become a program manger in this corporation", you will see it is flagged).

Thanks for pointing this out to me, Suzanne, you are absolutely right. I
should have said "Jesus was laid in a manger". I am relieved to see that there are millions of occurrences of "born in a manger" on the web (http://search.live.com/results.aspx?...1&FOR M=PORE), so I am not alone :-). Best, Thierry "Suzanne S.

Exclude Dictionary not working?
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 Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Greg Maxey wrote: Graham may be right (probably is).
