Missing Dictionary
I have problems when spell checking (Word/Office2003). I can delete and also
replace, but not add a word. The language syandard setting is correct (Danish). Under Tools/Options/Spelling and Grammar/Custom Dictionaries no dictionaries are listed at all. What seems to be the problem? Kind regards, Bjarne Iversen |

Hi ?B?Qmphcm5lIEl2ZXJzZW4=?=,
I have problems when spell checking (Word/Office2003). I can delete and also replace, but not add a word. The language syandard setting is correct (Danish). Under Tools/Options/Spelling and Grammar/Custom Dictionaries no dictionaries are listed at all. If no custom dictionaries are listed at all, then I'd say the problem is here. Try ADDing a dictionary and set the language to "no language". Can you add new words now?

Missing Dictionary
Dear Cindy,
Maybe my question was a bit unclear. The basic problem is, of course, why the program's dictionaries not will be listed at all. Or: Where can I find them?

Hi Bjarne,
Maybe my question was a bit unclear. The basic problem is, of course, why the program's dictionaries not will be listed at all. Or: Where can I find them? Office products work with two kinds of dictionary: 1. The custom dictionary, to which you can add terms. These are what you access via Tools/OPtions/Spelling and Grammar/Custom Dictionaries. By default, Word should create a single custom dictionary (custom.dic for English versions; Benutzer.dic for German; the Danish name I don't know :-)). You can create as many custom dictionaries as you wish, language-independent or -specific. 2. The main dictionaries. These are "closed". You can't look at what they contain, nor may you edit them. If you want to find them on your machine, search for *.lex files. But you won't be able to do anything with them... I have problems when spell checking (Word/Office2003).

Dear Cindy,
My Word does not create a single custom dictionary by default! Whether an English one, a German one or a Danish one.

Hi ?B?Qmphcm5lIEl2ZXJzZW4=?=,
My Word does not create a single custom dictionary by default! Whether an English one, a German one or a Danish one. Interesting... But you can create one, as I mentioned in my first reply. Just go into "Custom Dictionaries" and click "Add"...

Cindy, I really appreciate your patience - and help!
When clicking on "add" I get to the folder Microsoft/Proof - but no files at all are available. The pop-up window is totally blank. That's why I really wonder where the dictionary files are hiding!

OK. I'm looking at Word 2003 (the same version you mention in your first message). Tools/Options/Spelling and Grammar/Custom Dictionaries. This brings up the dialog box "Custom Dictionaries". Try clicking "NEW", enter a name, click "Save". Now you should see the file name you just created in the list. It will probably appear under a sub-title "All languages"?

It worked out really fine!
I clicked NEW and entered the name BRUGER.dic - a file name I got from a friend using Word 2003 and which is said to be the standard dictionary for the Danish language. The file name was accepted. Again, Cindy: Thanks for your help!
