How Project finds the CUSTOM.DIC File

 * }

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Project for Windows, version 3.0

-

SUMMARY
The Spelling checker in Microsoft Project for Windows, version 3.0, uses the file called CUSTOM.DIC to store words that were not in the main dictionary.

Project will use the PATH statement if there is not a path to the CUSTOM.DIC file specified in the WINPROJ.INI on the User Dictionary= line.

MORE INFORMATION
If the User Dictionary= line in the WINPROJ.INI file only specifies the filename &quot;CUSTOM.DIC,&quot; Project will search the PATH statement and look for a file with that name. If a file with that name is found, the added words will be placed in this file. If the file is not found in any of the directories in the PATH, Project will create a new file in the directory where Project was started from.

If the User Dictionary= line in the WINPROJ.INI file specifically references a file using a drive and path (for example, USER DICTIONARY=&quot;C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\PROOF\CUSTOM.DIC&quot;), Project will not look through the PATH to find the file.
