SYMPTOMS
========

The following error message is generated when you use the Publisher
spelling checker if your CUSTOM.DIC file does not end with a carriage
return character:

   Can't load speller or dictionary.

   Publisher can't load the speller or dictionary. Run the Setup
   program again and choose Custom installation to Install the Spell
   Checker and Hyphenation. Press F1 now if you want more information
   on running Setup.

If you choose OK, the spell checker will run, but you won't be able
to add words to the dictionary (the Add button will be unavailable.)

RESOLUTION
==========

To corrected this problem, open CUSTOM.DIC in a text editor such as
Notepad, move the cursor to the end of the file, press ENTER, and save
the file.
