Problem:
Users can not save their custom words in a Word 2013 dictionary.
Symptoms:
This problem was observed after moving App Data from UNC redirected folders to a VHD disk or a Mapped Drive in a non-persistent environment)
The end users can not add any new words to the dictionary, and that option is also grayed out.
Resolution:
When files migrate form one folder to another the folder in a target location is missing files that are required to run Word's dictionary.
However, this dictionary can be recreated by removing a registry key at logon.
When Microsoft Word opens, the keys get recreated. From that point on it is possible to add new words to the dictionary
As a workaround, please create the following App Launcher rule.
