Only if you want a new custom dictionary with the Word spelling procedure. For my spelling procedure it is not required at all.

Actually to %appdata%\Toxaris\Lang. It is specified in the manual when I upload it.

So, %appdata%\Microsoft\UProof\ExcludeDictionaryEN0809 .lex is a symlink to D:\BabbleOn\Word\Exclusions\English_UK.list.

I use these word lists in other programs, and... I don't like having to duck and dive in and out of appdata this, and appdata that, to edit my data.

So, no issue. You can keep your Custom Dictionaries where you want them as long as they are 'known' in Word. If the exclusion dictionary is a symbolic link, it should work.
