DOCUMENT:Q153086 18-APR-2000 [exchange] TITLE :XCLN: Custom Dictionary Is Not Used for Suggestions PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:WINDOWS:4.0,5.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbusage ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0 - Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0 - Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= When you spell check a document, the custom dictionary (Custom.dic) file is not used when it makes suggestions for misspelled words. This behavior is not consistent with Microsoft Word version 7.0, which allows a user the ability to include (or exclude) the Custom.dic file for suggestions for misspelled words. NOTE: The Custom.dic does suggest capitalization changes, but no actual misspellings. CAUSE ===== This is by design. MORE INFORMATION ================ The CUSTOM.DIC file may be located in one of the following locations: C:\\MSAPPS\PROOF -or- C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof Additional query words: spelling suggesting ====================================================================== Keywords : kbusage Technology : kbExchangeSearch kbExchange500 kbExchange400 kbExchangeClientSearch kbZNotKeyword kbZNotKeyword2 kbZNotKeyword3 kbExchange400NT kbExchange500NT kbExchange400Win95 kbExchange500Win95 Version : WINDOWS:4.0,5.0 ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
