Re: Edit dictionary - No Attachments please
Hi Stuart Just a reminder that we'd appreciate not sending attachments to the list please, as per Matt's email dated 24/08/2009 12:18PM. --quote--- Please DO NOT send attachments to the list. Be it photos or files or anything like that. Just because you can at the moment, doesn't mean you should. The best way to do it, is to send the link to the file. That way, people that want it, can download it. ---end quote--- Thanks. -Daniel pp WAMUG Committee On 13/10/09 7:10 PM, Stuart Breden bred...@highway1.biz wrote: Yes Ronni, there are two files.

Re: Edit dictionary
Hi Susan, I never said it was located in the Main HD, I told Stuart previously Steven: 1. There is a file in home/Library/Spelling LocalDictionary that holds all the learnt words for your language. 2. Drag the file into Text Edit's dock icon, search for and delete the words and then save it. Steven located the file and deleted the error words that he had added to Dictionary.

The 'local dictionary' is in my user directory library under spelling, not in the main HD library spelling directory. Could that be why Stuart couldn't find it.

Re: Edit dictionary
Hi Roger, Yes, you need to have added words to Dictionary. Stuart had added some incorrectly spelt words into the Dictionary. The file should be where I previously said. In Home Library Spelling ...

Re: Edit dictionary
Hi Stuart, I remember this issue coming up recently, and that Ronni had posted a response. I checked the WAMUG archives and found Ronni's answer to this question in an email on the 30th September. regards, Susan.

Re: Edit dictionary
Hi All, There is an app Dictionary Cleaner - 1.5” that you can get from http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10873219 or the authors website - http://twoamsoftware.com/ I have used it a number of times. Also, you can edit different dictionaries that you may have added. In SP it now used “Automatic by Language” , but you select any of the dictionaries that have installed on your system. In SP you can now add/edit Substitution, see MacWorld’s article - http://macworld.com.au/help/view/how-to-use-text-substitution-in-snow-leopard-3525 Cheers, Peder On 10/10/2009, at 7:28 AM, Stuart Breden wrote: I have added some incorrectly spelt words into the Mail dictionary.
