328225 2005-02-25 21:25:00 I'm back again in grizzle mode. :-)

I can seem to get the default custom doctionary to stay changed, even after following some excellent advice from you experts out there..

Here's what happens in word and outlook, with word enabled as word processor for outlook:

spellcheck brings up custom dic (US), and tells me a word is mis-spelt. I use the drop down menu to change the dic to Eng (NZ) and the word is accepted - even jargon I added - automatically but the dic changes straight back to Eng (US). This, I guess shows that my custom dic, along with my own entries added into it, has transferred across with my own settings with file transfer wizard to my new PC.

I can't get the default to stay changed with word (or outlook, I guess because word is my nominated editor for outlook.)

It's a bummer and wastes a lot of time with maori words, industry jargon, and place names etc.

What next?

NB My new PC has word /office 2003, the old one was word 2002 (Ithink, bought '02)

Thanks for your help.
