Hi All,

We are currently in the process of migrating some of our user accounts to Office 365 during which we have discovered that once these account are migrated they are no longer using the organisations custom dictionary we deploy via group policy to all users. If we clear all of the values out of "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Custom Dictionaries" and then add the dictionaries in as per the below article's instructions Word will use our custom dictionaries. However we want to avoid clearing all of the values out of "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Custom Dictionaries" because this will mean that any custom dictionaries our users have manually added will be lost.

<v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter">
Below is the result of GPP registry items we have in place to set custom dictionaries. <v:path gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect" o:extrusionok="f">
</v:path></v:stroke></v:shapetype>

However after Office 365 it appears users are logging into Office applications with their Organisational account and we're seeing the following registry changes and the custom dictionaries are no longer applied:

<v:path gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path><v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"><v:path gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path></v:stroke></v:shapetype>

If you add the registry items in the article to the above key once the users have migrated to office 365 it doesn't work.

Any advice about how we can get our custom dictionary deployed to all of these users without wiping out all of their custom dictionaries would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Joe
