Windows Installer Dictionary

Heath Stewart
Principal Software Engineer

Attached is a Unicode-encoded, English locale-sorted text file with many table, column, API, and flag tokens you can use as a spelling dictionary in many applications including Microsoft Word and Outlook email.

To support Microsoft Word, Outlook email, and other Microsoft Office products,

  1. Extract this anywhere but I recommend placing it in the same location as the custom dictionary in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\UProof.
  2. Add the dictionary to the list of dictionaries Office uses for spell checking.
    1. In Word 2007 and newer, read http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA101472981033.aspx.
    2. In older versions, see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051895581033.aspx.
