ActiveCustomDictionary Property

  • Article

Returns or sets a Dictionary object that represents the custom dictionary to which words will be added. Read/write.

Example

This example displays the full path and file name of the active custom dictionary.

  Set dicCustom = Application.CustomDictionaries.ActiveCustomDictionary
MsgBox dicCustom.Path & Application.PathSeparator & dicCustom.Name

This example clears all existing custom dictionaries, adds a custom dictionary named "Home.dic," and then loads the new dictionary.

  Dim dicCustom As Dictionary

Application.CustomDictionaries.ClearAll

Set dicCustom = Application.CustomDictionaries _
    .Add(FileName:="C:\Program Files" _
    & "\Microsoft Office\Office\Home.dic")
Application.CustomDictionaries.ActiveCustomDictionary = dicCustom
