How can I go back to the default dictionary?
I have added terms to the dictionary. I want to delete all of those terms and
go back to the default dictionary. What is the easiest way to do this? |

How can I go back to the default dictionary?
Hi,
I know that I can go in and delete them one by one and then save, but that would take a long time. Is there any other way to delete all of my entries without deleting the whole dictionary?

Well, you can open the dictionary and select all the text and press Delete
once. Select the first entry, scroll to the last entry, press Shift and click on the last entry, and they will all be selected.. -- Suzanne S.

Instead of clicking the Modify button in the Custom Dictionaries dialog,
make a note of the file path shown below the list box. If it looks like C:\...\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\Custom.dic, then the actual path is C:\Documents and Settings\your login name\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\Custom.dic. Close down Word. In order to see this file in Windows Explorer, you have to use the Explorer menu item Tools Folder Options and click "Show hidden folders and files". Then go to that file and open it with Notepad (it's just a text file with a different extension). Delete all the contents (these are only the words you added, not anything in the main dictionary) and save the empty file. Close Notepad and reopen Word. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
