Mac Forum / Applications / Word / March 2008Custom Dictionary
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel I'm repeatedly getting the following dialog box: The custom dictionary "Custom Dictionary" is not available. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. Can you help. I've read posts and tried highlighting the custom dictionary, setting the language to "none", etc. Thanks, Shane > I'm repeatedly getting the following dialog box: > The custom dictionary "Custom Dictionary" is not available. Can you try opening the custom dictionary in Word directly?? How doe it look?? If it looks OK, try modifying one word and saving it to see if it corrects the problem.

I tried your suggestion but when I try to open the "Custom Dictionary" from Word it is shaded. In other words, I can't open it from Word. Shane > Corentin, thanks for the quick response.

Well you can't open it from the dialog in the preferences (I should have given you more details I guess). Look for it in the Finder and drag it to the icon for Word in the Dock.

Regardless of how similar the symptoms may appear to be, if the solution that worked for others *didn't* work for you it should be obvious that your situation is *different* in some way - Please post it as a NEW message & give all your particulars including your Office version, your OS X version & your flavor of Mac. Otherwise nobody has any idea what to suggest.

At the bottom of the Open dialog (when you try to open Custom Dictionary directly) select All Files from the Enable: list or navigate to it, Control-Click it & select Open With> Microsoft Word.app - either should work.
