Hi Bert,
I am developing a C# Application and use MS Word for spellchecking.
Additionally to the spellchecking i want to check the text against a custom
dictionary file. How can i create/use a custom dictionary file and add words
to it?
a custom dictionary file is a plain text file with a *.dic extension. The
acceptable words are simply listed "down" the page. If you have Word 2002 or
2003 installed, I suggest you
- start Word
- Tools/OPtions/SPelling and Grammar/Custom dictionaries
- Add a dictionary, or select an existing one
- click Modify
- now you can manage the list of words the dictionary contains, direclty
- enter a couple of words
- close this, then search for the *.dic file and open it in the text editor of
your choice to continue entering words, if you prefer this interface.
Of course, you could also use programming tools to complete the list, if you
prefer, as soon as you've determined the rules for making a list.
