Norman R. Nager, Ph.D.
Please help clear up my confusion with Word 12.1.1/Help directions for
editing my custom dictionary. Even though I read and re-read the directions
a couple times, I ended up corrupting my custom dictionary and having to
replace it with a recent back up copy. (Please see below for directions I
found in Word 12.1.1/Help.)
It is unclear, first, which format to use for converting the custom
dictionary and, then, exactly how to save.
I tried a couple different options, including in Mac format for converting.
I also tried command-S and save in .dic after deleting some words and after
having it open a text file containing some words I wished to add.
When I logged out and back in, it was either as if I had made no changes in
several attempts to edit or, in my very last attempt, as if the custom
dictionary was unusable. In that case, when I re-directed the preferences
to the custom dictionary, it was grayed out and inaccessible for creating a
path.
Is this a problem with 12.1.1 or any version of Office 2008?
Respectfully, Norm
