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:\<windows directory>\MSAPPS\PROOF

-or-

  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof
