From: Tricia on 8 Feb 2009 22:09 I cannot for life of me get exclude dictionary to work. I have put the words on a notepad file, i pressed enter between each word, the words are in lower case. I have saved the file in a multitude of ways, but none work. The path I am using is: C:\Users\'username'\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof and I am saving as a text only file. All of the help files relate how to do this for american spelling, and not for vista or word 2007. Here is my question - What exactly do I call the file and where exactly do I save it? Pls Don't forget, I am using Australian english.

From: Janine on 8 Feb 2009 22:25 You have to rename your txt exclusion dictionary as: MSSP3ENA.EXC (Australia).

From: Tricia on 8 Feb 2009 22:51 Hi Janine, Thanks for trying - those help files I have already looked at a million times :D The reason they are not compatible is that the exclude files in Word Vista 2007 are saved as: ExcludeDictionaryEN0c09 ExcludeDictionaryEN1c09 ExcludeDictionaryEN0409 (I think this is the American one) ExcludeDictionaryEN0809 ExcludeDictionaryFR040c so who know which is the Australian one!!

In the names of those files, EN means English (and FR means French), and the last characters are the "locale ID" as listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/221435 -- after the "&H" in parentheses. So the locale ID for Australia is C09 or, equivalently, 0C09 (not to be confused with 1C09, which is South Africa). Name your exclusion dictionary ExcludeDictionaryEN0c09.lex and it should work. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
