Where are the User Dictionary and the Document Dictionary located in FrameMaker 12?

When I click on Dictionary in the spelling checker, the path for the user dictionary shows:

C:\User\Windows . . .\FMUserDictionary

Yet I can't find that file when I do a search.

(Wish I could see the whole path, but it is cut off and the dialog can't be expanded.)

    I found the folder FMUserDictionary buried in

    C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\UserDictionaries

    Thanks, Fiery. That is really buried. And it also means that the path shown in the spelling checker is incorrect.

    Does anyone know if the reason the path is incorrect in the spelling checker is because there is a bug in the spelling checker?

    The path has changed a few timesin the latest releases with the addition of the Hunspell dictionaries and is now hardwired in the internal code. The maker.ini locations, for these, IIRC, are deprecated. You can check in the Maker INI reference document on these: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/ini/framemaker_11_ini_reference.pdf
