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
