Word 2004 Dictionary problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



[Office 2004; most recent update; OS 10.3.9]

I wonder if anyone has seen these. I've been trying to tackle this stuff
for a while now. Thanks for any thoughts.

- My Main Dictionary seems to have absorbed a few mistaken custom
dictionary entries from previous versions (and from before I upgraded
from OS9, 18 months ago). I have scoured my Custom Dictionary for these
words and they are not there, but the spellchecker does not see them as
wrong. I have got 'English (UK)' in the styles I use. And I have
repeatedly checked that it is set to that. (This problem was also
present in Office X, BTW).

- In 'Language', the option '(no proofing)' does not seem to exist in my
version of Word. (This may or may not be relevant, but can be annoying.)

- I have created an Exclude Dictionary, but it doesn't work. First I put
it in ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft. I have just read the 'help'
again, and it says it has to go in the same folder as the Main
Dictionary. I cannot see a file called that, so I tried putting it in
~/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office, where I have files called
'English Dictionary' and 'English Dictionary 2'. Still no go.

Any pointers gratefully accepted!

Thanks.
