Is there a way to extract the one-word dictionary from any MS
applications, such as Word or FrontPage. It has an inbuilt dictionary, for
they are able to show you wrong spellings and after installation of the MS
application(s), the Dictionary part must be placed in some location or
there may be some way to extract them.

If you have added words to the dictionary then you can export the dictionary file. For example, my last name is Boudreaux and it will never be found in the common Microsoft Office dictionary, so I must add it to the dictionary. The file you are looking for is the Custom.dic file. Run a search on your PC for this file, it is usually found in the user Profile path. On a W2K PC it would be C:\Documents and Settings\%User ID%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof.

I hope this brief overview helps!
