Use Alternate Custom Dictionary

[Art M.]

I am using Office 2000 and the custom dictionary. I would like to relocate
the custom dictionary to another folder and have other Microsoft applications
know where it is. If I create another custom dictionary in the folder of my
choice and use that one only, will all Microsft applications (Word, Excel,
Outlook, etc) be able to use it? When I try to deselect the standard custom
dictionary I receive the message
"You have deselected the first dictionary in the list. Please not that
changing this may affect the default dictionary used by other Microsoft
applications". The message appears to indicate my idea will not work.
Please help.

Thanks,
Art
