I recently switched computers and need to port all my previous
dictionary/spelling entries from the old install to the new FP install....
what/which files would I need to port and where are they located?

TIA,

Bruce

I believe it uses Word's Custom dictionary (custom.dic)...
usually in: ....\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof

Hi, Rob.

I don't seem to be able to locate my Frontpage custom dictionary. I am
running Frontpage 2003.

I looked for custom.dic using Windows explorer. It found no *.dic on my
machine. It found some "dictionary file" type files, *.lex, in directory
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF. But those are not text
files.

I'm able to "Add to Dictionry" using Frontpage spell check.

Your input is highly appreciated.

Hi, Rob.

I found the file, C:\Documents and Settings\heleng\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof\custom.dic.

The strange thing is the Search utility of Windows Explorer failed to find
the file. For example, if I specified Look In to be C:\, then it wouldn't
find the file. But if I specified the Look In to be "C:\Documents and
Settings\heleng\Application Data\Microsoft", then Search return the file.

.....\Application Data\ is a hidden, sytem file/folder. Set the search
to look in hidden and system folders.

actually .dic is a text file you can open it with Notepad and add more
custom words on your own as long as you follow the existing format, then
save it.

I know I am out of forum and time sequence, but it seems you know about the
default dictionary. My default dictionary is missing and I don't know how to
access it or re-build it. you mention adding to the default from the Notepad.
How is this done? Please help or refer issue to appropriate mvp.
