Download Word List

 

Overview

The Download Word List page displays a link that, when clicked, will begin downloading the supplemental word list to the local machine. The supplemental word list includes additional words that should not be flagged for correction when using the Spell Check feature in the current Virtual Installation. A word list must be created and uploaded before the option to download the word list appears.

 

Note: No matter what the name of the supplemental word list file is when it is uploaded it will always be changed to dictionaryLocal.txt and stored in a folder for that Virtual Installation. Therefore, the downloaded supplemental word list file will always be dictionaryLocal.txt.

Follow these steps to open the Download Word List page.

Modify the supplemental word list

After the supplemental word list has been downloaded, simply open it then add and replace words to modify the list. The list appears in a standard text file with each word separated by a hard return.

 

Keep in mind that the supplemental word list is a list of words that will not be flagged for correction by the spell checker. In addition to the supplemental word list, spell check also checks words against a robust English dictionary, and words that individual users have added to their personal word lists. Personal word lists are only available on a users’ local machine.

 

Note: Only words that appear in the Spell Check dictionary will be listed as suggestions when a possible error is encountered. Words in the supplemental word list will not be offered as suggestions.

 

For information on uploading a modified supplemental word list please see the Upload Word Listtopic.
