Microsoft Outlook No Custom Dictionary Exists Error
Would you like to create one?" - Outlook When doing a spell check in Outlook it comes up with a message saying "No custom dictionary exists. Would you like to create one?"Go back to Outlook and create a new message...From Outlook -> New (email message) -> type some rubbish into the email (e.g. "sdaasdhasdih" and select 'Check Spelling' - when the prompt comes up, click 'Options' -> 'Custom Dictionaries' - then check 'CUSTOM.DIC' in the list - selected 'OK' and the error should appear no more.Hope this helps... :)PS. Microsoft has some Regedit solution on their pages - but this worked so why mess with the registry if you don't have to?

Guest This is happening for one user on a Terminal Server on Server 2003 SP1. Outlook 2003, SP2. Spellcheck is forced for each message via Group Policy. When the spellcheck runs, Outlook displays the message: "No custom dictionary exists. Would you like to create one?". On answering "OK", it displays the error: "There was an error creating the custom dictionary" Nothing is written to the event logs. Deleting and recreating the user's Outlook profile does not fix it. Other users are not experiencing this error, spellcheck works fine. I suspect there http://snafder.blogspot.com/2008/08/no-custom-dictionary-exists-would-you.html is something bad in the user profile but don't know where to look next. Ideas anyone? Thanks, Will Will Niccolls, Jan 16, 2007 #1 Advertisements Will Niccolls Guest I was able to fix this by deleting the entire user profile from Terminal Server. Kludgy but it worked. Would be nice if someone knew how to correct this.

Move them into a temporary directory (Office should be closed), then add a new word in office to the user dictionary. Now a new custom.dic should be created. Try to refill i

Would you microsoft outlook like to create one?"On clicking yes, another box pops up that reads, "An error occurred while creating the custom dictionary."Now, she gets this same behavior when she tries to manually create a new custom dictionary. When I try to manually create one on my own computer, it simply opens up a blank file in notepad named "CUSTOM.DICT" and also the window of the folder that it microsoft outlook no is in, under the Outlook folder in Applications Data. On her computer (actually anywhere she is logged in) no file is opened up, and a different folder window opens--C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE11\1033.The fact that this occurs on another pc when she is logged in indicates to me that this is a problem with some configuration in her profile. The problem is I have no idea what I'm looking for. I've already reinstalled Outlook to no avail.Does anyone have any suggestions?
