Outlook, Tools menu, Options, "Mail Format" tab, 'Editor Options' button, 'Proofing' task (at left), "Custom dictionaries" button.

You should find a path something like %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof and filenames like 'Custom.dic'. If the custom dictionary dialog is failing to open, you should use the repair feature for Outlook. (Control Panel, Programs and Features, Rightclick Office item...)

Sometimes I see people having Permissions problems, like 'access denied'. That's usually some form of 'import' problem with an old profile. Multi-language problems can usually be solved in the dialog mentioned for custom dictionaries.

Not to take you to task, or anything like that, but you could be best served by starting your own thread on this kind of thing. There are now a new set of Office Answers forums available, but I hesitate to push this thread around yet again.

Answer 3

This navigation in this answer does not work on Windows 7 Home Edition x64. Apparently applies to earlier Windows.

Answer 4

There is no right side scroll bar.  I can no longer move through the articles by scrolling up or down.  The cursor can not find the bar off of the screen.  I can only use the spacer bar which moves in large motions, hiding some of what I want to see and will not allow me to go up, only down.
