Shared Custom Dictionary

[Lasse]

Hi

What is the correct procedure for sharing a Custom Dictionary between
multiple users?

My idea was to create the file, place it on our network and then each user
would get it when running our login script.

Hello Lasse,

I guess that would depend on how your login script is written.



I use the following.



Sub spellCheckAdd()

'

' SpellCheckAdd Macro

' Macro recorded 8/10/2008 by Gil Carter

With Options

.CheckSpellingAsYouType = True

.CheckGrammarAsYouType = False

.SuggestSpellingCorrections = True

.SuggestFromMainDictionaryOnly = True

.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = False

.ShowReadabilityStatistics = False

.IgnoreUppercase = True

.IgnoreMixedDigits = True

.IgnoreInternetAndFileAddresses = True

.AllowCombinedAuxiliaryForms = True

.EnableMisusedWordsDictionary = True

.AllowCompoundNounProcessing = True

.UseGermanSpellingReform = True

End With

ActiveDocument.ShowGrammaticalErrors = True

ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors = True

Languages(wdEnglishUS).SpellingDictionaryType = wdSpelling

With CustomDictionaries

‘ .ClearAll

With .Add("C:\Patients\AMR\Custom201a.dic")

.LanguageSpecific = True

.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS

End With

With .Add("C:\Patients\AMR\TSMRMedDict.dic")

.LanguageSpecific = True

.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS

End With

End Sub

Or even easier yet, why not just have the users click on Tools/ Options/ Custom Dictionaries/ Add … and identify the desired
dictionary?
