[Macpartners] office mac 2001 - word - 'full' dictionary issue

[George Kokkinogenis]

Hello Aran, 

Encountered similar problem with MS Office 2001. Move /system/preff/ms to
the desktop of trash. Delete MS Office Prefs from /system/preffs
Restart office again. This should reset and get rid of any bad preffs that
are causing the problem. Once this starts, navigate to the custom
dictionary.
