To recap, the underlying problem is that in Word 2008, Microsoft
requires any custom dictionaries to reside on the boot volume. This need
fixing.
Mine sure doesn't and I don't have your problem with the custom
dictionary.
I also use SuperDuper! And I also have a sandbox-like configuration.
I'm really surprised that it doesn't work for you. I've only seen this
type of issue with corrupted custom dictionaries (you can open it in
Word, make a slight modification, save, and the problem is gone).
If what you describe is true, you could try something.
I can't remember whether the sandbox simply uses a symlink or changes
the advanced user settings to set the location of the user folder. I use
both (to avoid some bugs with a few apps that rely either on one or the
other.
If you don't already have a symlink in the /Users folder:
In /Users, create a symlink redirecting to the location of your user
account on the second volume where your user account actually resides.
The command should look like:
cd /Users; sudo ln -s /Volumes/MyOtherDrive/Users/Me
Reboot and try again. Does it work??
If you have a symlink:
Open the System Preferences
Open Accounts
Select your account and Ctrl-click it to get the advanced preferences
from the contextual menu (must be unlocked)
In the field indicating the location of your user account, select the
actual user account on the second drive (instead of /Users/Me)
Reboot.
Does this help??
