Hi,
I had the same problem until Mike pointed out where I have to save my
exceptions and then it worked fine. Read Mike's message reproduced
below. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Akbar

Make sure that you use file explore profile in WE to get to the
correct folder to place the dictionary as there are multiple
locations where settings are stored, but this will get you to the correct one.

Hi,
I put my old existing exception dictionary in the WE users default
folder and replaced the current one but it does not seem to
work. What am I doing wrong? In previous upgrades I always did the
same and it always worked.
Using Win 7, 64 bit, Mozilla FF, WE 7.51 . .
Thanks,
Akbar

Loy, I have carefully and repeatedly done just what you describe. My entries
are saved in the exception dictionary. The problem is that the dictionary
settings are not applying themselves to Word or Outlook so that even though
they are there, they aren't available to me. I have checked the "show
global" on the global and program toggle. And "show advanced options" is
checked in the Help menu. I just can't figure this out!

Make sure that show advanced options is checked under help. Do a control
shift E this will bring you to the tree view of dictionaries, arrow down to
exception, tab over and enter the word you wish to correct then type in your
replacement, tab to update entryand hit enter, then tab to save setting, hit
enter and then tab to minimize and hit enter. this should save it for ever.

This is a long message as I have tried to explain. Ok, here's my age
showing. In the old WE control panel I knew how to associate a file with a
program. Now I'm stumped and I've tried the manual but there's something I'm
missing. I have added things to the exception dictionary and saved settings
but the things I have added are not available to me when I return to Word or
Outlook 2010. I have gone into the dictionary status in the control panel
and verified that the radio button for "exception dictionaries on" is
checked and the checkbox for "include program dictionaries" is also
checked. Just past that checkbox is a list of two dictionaries; they are
excp.dic and mso.dic. But when I arrive at that list box I find "no selected
item" highlighted. So I down arrow to excp.dic and then go save settings. I
exit, come back, and verify that my edits are indeed in excp.dic; and they
are. But they arent associated with programs so they aren't working as they
should. Why?
Sandy
