Default Custom.dic - moving and sharing

Mike --

I changed the registry entry for the Custom.dic to my F: drive and then
rebooted. Word97 recognizes this change. However, OE6 does not. It still
opens the Custom.dic at C:\Documents and settings\Don Culp\Application
data\Microsoft\Proof. If I delete this Custom.dic then when OE6 restarts it
just recreates Custom.dic at the same location but without any entries.

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

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

Default Custom.dic - moving and sharing

I took another look at that article. It shows the key as under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Custom
Dictionaries

I looked at my PC and the key is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Which key did you change?

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE the data value is "F:\Dictionary
(Microsoft)\CUSTOM.DIC"
(without the quotes). This is my changed value.

In HKEY_CURRENT_USER the data value is just given as CUSTOM.DIC without a
path. I have not changed this.

You might try changing HKEY_CURRENT_USER one.

I've just got mine at the default settings and OE, MS Word and MS Works
all use the same file. It's at the default location that OE is using,
I haven't tried changing it.
