I didn't send any attachment to you. I was just saying i didn't think there was an easy way to do what you wnted short doing it yourself or gtting someone else to do it for you.
I might look into it later if you wanted to send me a list of 'bad' words and a copy of the thesaurus you wanted to start with ( assuming we're working in english, other wise you wll have to try someone else. )

Thanks Walter. The list stripped the attachment. Could you please send
it to me off-list? That way I can send it on.
Perhaps the project could host your set as a downloadable option. I
would be pleased to point users to these in the user guide or even host
them on the doc project. Whichever.
Keep in mind, that I am looking to have a set suitable for children. For
myself, I prefer the regular set as it more inclusive and useful for
writing.
