No, they use the same Dictionary. "paddler" shows as misspelled here in Entourage too. If it wasn't showing for you, the either you must have had either different Custom Dictionaries set up for Entourage than for Word and had previously entered it in Entourage's, or maybe you have "Check spelling as you type" and "Check spelling before queuing messages" both off in Entourage prefs.
There's only one Custom Dictionary you can set for Entourage: by default it is set to the one at the top of your Word list (if you have more than one there). The Custom Dictionary for Word should be set to "(none)" language, which will work everywhere in Word, unless you need multiple languages there. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
