Thanks, again Graham but what happened to the dictionary that comes with the
Word program? This is the dictionary that is most important to me. I am
using Word 2002 and this dictionary is colored lite orange and blue. This
dictionary is no where to be found. I tried to run C:\D and S\BG\application
data\microssoft\proof\Custom. dic. This program won't run. I cant find the
file for the dictionary. Perhapes you know where it may be located? You
mentioned the the tool- option route. what is the complete process to
building a custom dic, or even the US English, dictionary? Please Help
Someone.

CUSTOM.DIC is not an executable file. It is a text file containing a column
of the words that you have added. If you have managed to delete this file,
you will have to create another through the tools options route.

I still could not access the dictionary. The language setting was
adjusted and reset, and set. The checks for Custom dictionary were
checked and re-checked and still no access. It is as though the
folder for the dictionary no longer exists. I attempted to 'run'
C:\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC The file could not be
found was the Error message. I truely appreciated the effort.
Select the document (CTRL+A) Tools Language Set Language - set
to US English. Uncheck the 'do not check spelling and automatically
detect' check boxes.
Tools options Spelling & Grammar Custom Dictionaries - ensure
your custom dictionarly is listed and checked. If not add it.

My dictionary in Word 2002 is missing. I use to access it when
using the Word application, but now it won't access. I installed a
later version of Word, 2000 for a purpose in which the newer
version could not render. I was only able to use the newer version
when using Word, so I don't think the installation of the later
version had any effect on the missing dictionary. I would like help
in Accessing the dictionary. It is listed in the drop down window
for Word editing file, but when I click on custom dictionary, and
then USdictionary, of dict nothing happens. Would you please help?
