Mac Forum / Applications / Word / February 2006Word 2004 another dictionary problem
I can't activate my Custom Dictionary. I check the box next to it in the Dictionaries window, I click OK, and nothing happens. I still can't add words during a spell check. I've tried setting the language to "English US," and I've tried setting the language to "None." Every time I go back to the Dictionaries window, there's my Custom Dictionary, unchecked and unactivated. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks! Hi Whatever your name Is: It's either bad preferences or a bad custom dictionary. First, rename or delete your custom dictionary, then create a new one. If that doesn't fix it, you may need to remove your Preferences.

Thank you again. Priscilla Hi Priscilla: Thanks, good to know. Make sure you have the latest updates applied to Microsoft Office -- the "Corrupt custom dictionary problem" was supposed to be fixed in a service release :-) Cheers On 26/2/06 6:07 AM, in article 1140894452.026243.84100@u72g2000cwu.googlegroups.com, "sapphire93" <pstuckey@california.com> wrote: > Many thanks, John.
