The dictionary files used by the spellchecker can be found in the "dic" folder under the WebClient directory. These are simply text files that can be edited using notepad. The one you will want to modify is the English file which is named "en-US.dic". Newer versions of Imail have the words you mentioned and several others removed. I'll send you the most recent version of the dictionary file so you don't have to find and edit all the offending words yourself. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Herron Jim W.

Received a new complaint today: User has a last name of Kijowski in the body of the message, runs spell checker and is recommended two choices cocks**ker and cocks**kers. This is a school principle and there is fear that the name can be substituted and parents may not like that. I do recall working with the .clx files in the distant past and have them in each domain’s root directory. But it seems things are different now. I found this in the knowledgebase it is from 7.0+. I am running 2006.03 version of Imail. The Spell Checker contains compressed dictionary files which have a .clx extension, and cannot be edited. Each user has a user dictionary that they can customize to fit their needs. This file is called Userdict.tlx and can be edited by completing the following steps. To edit the User Dictionary, select Edit User Dictionary from the Options menu. This option allows the user to customize the user dictionary, by adding or deleting words. Dictionary Explanations: American English (ssceam2.clx) This is a compressed file and is not editable. British English (sscebr2.clx) This is a compressed file and is not editable. User Dictionary (UserDict.tlx) This dictionary is created for the new user. Words can be added to or removed from the user dictionary. Words in user dictionaries may be offered as suggestions for misspelled words Because the default files cannot be edited, I was hoping to login add this name to my spellchecker, creating the UserDict.tlx file mentioned above, than copy this to each user. I did the addition, but the .tlx file was NOT generated. However, testing the spell checker afterwards worked. I have a second account and decided to do the same. Spell checking worked on it without modification, so I tried a third account, it worked also. I than created cached files and tried again and all three account reverted back to flagging the not too nice suggestion. I am confused and cannot find anything on the spell checker in 2006 manuals except for how it is used. Has anyone experienced this or modified the spell checker? Seems the tlx file is not used in 2006 and there is no documentation to go on that I can find. Thanks, Jim James W.
