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. From: "Michael Santovec" Subject: Custom.dic - moving and sharing Date: Monday, May 12, 2008 9:48 PM It's possible the have them share a common Custom.dic. The registry says where it is located. See: Spell Checker or Custom Dictionary Errors http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=178238 -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Don Culp" wrote in message ... 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 |

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? -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Don Culp" wrote in message ...

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. "Michael Santovec" wrote in message ... I took another look at that article.

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. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Don Culp" wrote in message ...
