Has anyone shared a custom dictionary for others in their company? I definately dont want to visit several hundred workstations to add another custom dictionary, but have not found a GPO to do this. I have added the office adm files, and have not found what Im looking for.

What else has anyone done to share custom dictionaries?

You will have to use a custom transformation file and re-install the application, if it is a Office.

You can use the GPO to install that software then.

I just wrote a reg file (see below) and can add it to the logon script to roll out to all PCs.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

"2"="U:\\WBWCustomOfficeDictionary\\CUSTOM.DIC"

What would you do if a user has 2 or 3 dictionaries already? What if the value "2" alreadys exists? Can you name the value "99" for example so you are not overwriting any existing dictionaries?
