Keef, it's amazing you should have posted that at this moment. Last session I found a directory where such information was supposed to be - and it was empty.


From memory, it was: Rivets, App data, roaming, microsoft, proof.

I also found a couple of files with a strange prefix implying they disqualified the files.


I'll have to leave it for now, I have some corrections to implement.

Sounds about right.

I have a folder called C:\Users\Keith\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Proof which contains one file, called CUSTOM.DIC dated 1/3/2011.

Then there's D:\Winword\PROOF which contains a CUSTOM.DIC dated 15/5/2013.

NORMAL.DOT is in D:\Winword\Templates (that's where I told it to put it, so it's behaving itself).

Excel buries its settings in C:\Users\Keith\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSO NAL.XLS but since that has been well behaved (compared with Word) I've never bothered to try to move it.

I think later versions of MS Office (of course) put the files in completely different locations. it would be far too bloomin' obvious to leave them in the same place, after all!
