Solved: Dictionary help required

[cunnus88]

Whaddaya know? My third thread starter in one week. Thanks for all the help, people.

This time, I'm having trouble declaring a Dictionary object.

I've seen the code in other forums and it goes something like:

dim mydictionary as new dictionary

Well, whenever I do that, I get the literal dictionary (you know, the one with entries and definitions and pronunciation keys?).

I did include a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library so why I should be stuck with a lexicon is beyond me.

Any takers?

Having added a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library, you need to make you declaration from that object:
Dim mydictionary As New Scripting.Dictionary

Dim mydictionary As New Dictionary creates a new dictionary item in Word's Dictionaries collection (of custom dictionaries), hence the confusion
