SYMPTOMS
========
When Word automatically creates the Custom.dic file, the file is not created in
the location specified by the Tools-Path setting in the Windows Registry.
Instead, Word creates the file in the shared proofing tools directory, usually
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, click Options on the Tools menu, select the File
Locations tab, and note the location of the "Tools" file type. After Word
creates your Custom.dic file, copy it to this directory.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.
