Missing Main Dictionary in Word 2002

Guest

I just discovered that my main dictionary is missing in Word 2002. The custom
dictionary is still there. The spell checker runs and says all is fine.

How can I obtain the main dictionary file? I searched my hard drive for
*.dic with no luck; it's also not in the Proof folder.

I have Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 600.

Any help would be appreciated.

The main dictionary will have a .lex suffix.
