Mac, Word 365, consistent error "Dictionary Full"

Hi Bob,

Thanks for posting in the community.

For your concern, yes, it is expected behavior when you delete the folder, then reopen Word. According to your description, please reconfirm your Custom Dictionary location is under UBF8T346G9.Office. Click Word in the menu> Preferences> Spelling Grammar> Dictionaries. If so, please remove all the existing dictionaries and add a new one. Check whether the issue still exists.

If the issue still exists, switch to another Mac user profile (if you don’t have another user profile, please create a new Mac user profile, then switch to the new user profile), open Word and check again.

Also, please provide your Word version.

Regards,

George

Did get notice of this initial reply, just the follow up.

So following your instructions, I opened the Custom Dictionary and deleted the 3 words that were in there.

I then saved it.

I re-opened it and added one word; saved it.

I then when into Preferences Spell/Gram -> AutoCorrect and clicked Exceptions

It now allows me to add to the exceptions list without giving me that Customer Dictionary is Full message.

So the issue now seems to be resolved.
