Is there any way to move OE6's Custom.dic dictionary from its default folder
to another folder? Of course, OE6 would have to recognize the new folder. Since MS Office also uses a Custom.dic, can OE6 and MS Office share the same Custom.dic without interfering with each other? Thanks, Don Culp |

Unless you have a third party spell check, you are already using the one
from Office / Word. Outlook Express has /never/ had a spell check of its own. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Don Culp" wrote in message ...

Bruce --
In OE6 when I go to Tools\Options\Spelling\Edit custom dictionary, Custom.dic is located in C:\Documents and settings\Don Culp\Application data\Microsoft\Proof. In Word 97 when I go to Tools\Options\Spelling\Dictionaries, Custom.dic is located in E:\Program files\Microsoft office\Office. In any case, I would like to have all dictionaries on my F: drive, where I keep all of my data for easiest back up (i.e., I just back up the entire drive). "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

I don't know if you can have the dictionary on a different drive than
Outlook Express and still work. I t doesn't seem to me to be logical. You can right click on the Proof folder and Send To any place you want as a backup. Someone else will have to step in and answer your question in its entirety. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Don Culp" wrote in message ...

It's possible the have them share a common Custom.dic. The registry
says where it is located.
