Hello Ian, > Also, there is no way of creating a personal dictionary as in the > past.

I have a user dictionary for Spanish that I called "muuserdicesp.tlx" for SSCE and it is always shown when I right click on a misspelled word and select Add to dictionary from context menu. For SSCE you have to create a txt file in Mail/speller directory. The first line must identify the language. For example "#LID 29552", without the quotes, for Spanish. Open the .tlx file for your desired language to find the needed #LID value. Save the file and change the .txt extension to .tlx For Hunspell, which I don't currently use, it is a little different. I have two user dictionaries in Mail/dictionaries directory: es_ES.udc for Spanish en_GB.udc for British English Hope this helps. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

So, as a last resort, I had to actually search for the answer for myself. What I found was that the dictionary controls are available only when composing a message, as far as I can tell. Please see attached (I hope) screen grab. If you are able to see the attached photo you'll see that SPELL CHECKER is in the top menu bar. Clicking on that option yields the context menu you see. Although AUTOMATIC CHECKING seems to be selected, I clicked on one of the other options and then back to AUTOMATIC CHECKING. From that point on (as you can see) the spell checker started working. Also, right-clicking on a flagged word brings up a context menu which includes the option to add the word to the dictionary. Given that you and I are using widely separated versions of TB!, YMMV.

I only paid attention to which dictionary was open when "Naomi" hit the wall. It is SSCE\accent.tlx (AM). I have never noticed this before. I have a whole slew of SSCE??.tlx files all with various language endings (FR, BR, et) in two directories: Program Files(X86)\TheBat\Speller and Owner\App Data\Roaming\TheBat\Speller How can I have the spell check use my main dictionary wherever it is?

dictionary / spell-checker
does anyone else think that the bat needs better dictionary and spell-checker support? for example, spell-checker should exclude single letters so that the process doesn't complain about 'm' when i sign my name 'm.davidson'. it should exclude all words that include punctuation of any kind. i recently sent a link to someone and spell-check complained about 'd&source', 's_d&saddr', and similar non-words. it would be absolutely silly to add non-words to the dictionary as a workaround for the problem. spell-checker should also ignore all URL parts. if this feature already exists, it doesn't work. maybe i'm missing something. if so, perhaps someone will be kind enough to inform me. thanks/regards, .. -- best regards, m.davidson Current version is 4.1.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Can't add words to the spell check dictionary
Batfolk, I am having a problem adding words to the spell checker dictionary. It works fine as long as I have American English selected as the language, and it works if I have both American and British English selected, but not if I have only British English selected. I also note that the default dictionary to add word to is accent.tlx rather than userdic.tlx which is, I believe, the one that should be used. I am using the SSCE spell checker. I have no idea how to use either or the other options since I can't find any information about them, so I can't test to see whether the problem extends to these. Anyone else experience this problem? Or have any ideas how to resolve it?

In view of the release date some 5 days ago and most of the regulars here apparently not knowing that it existed sort of confirms my thoughts about RITLABs failure to advise users of the update. I have however discovered the solution to my original query. After resurrecting an prior version of The Bat! (on my old computer) and looking at the settings there I find that if I open my UserDic.TLX and change the LID (first line of file) from 24941 to 25202 it then correctly shows the language as British English rather than US English - in line with the language that I have set under Spell Checker language. I can't remember who originally provided this fix but he/she certainly has my thanks as it was driving me crazy seeing my User dictionary described as US English when it most certainly wasn't. ;-) -- Regards, Bob Using The Bat! v3.71.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Dear fellow TB! users, I have just installed the latest version of TB! However, every time I do so, I lose my User Dictionary (UserDic.TLX) -- it is either overwritten or deleted. Thus I lose all my approved spellings. Is there a way yet of moving the User Dictionary to a different location (ie, outside C:\Program Files\The Bat!\speller), and telling TB! this location?

At the top of the list and at the bottom of the list, with a horizontal line separating the two at the bottom from the long list above which has the first two at the top? Like this: American English British English Danish Dutch British French German (New Spelling) German (Old Spelling) Italian Norwegian (Bokmal) Portuguese (Brazilian) Portuguese (Iberian) Spanish Swedish _ American English British English In mine, I have American English at the bottom checked. And it does not flag email as misspelled. Now, as a test, I'm flagging (checking) American English at the top, instead. And sure enough, it does stop at email as misspelled, just as you said. If you don't have them twice, so that you can check the American English (or British English) at the bottom, you indeed do not have the CSAPI dictionary installed, as it says in Help/Index/Find/Dictionaries/Spell-Checker/--and scrolling down, the information that The Bat! automatically detects and installs CSAPI. Now, as we both know, the Help file is old, much of it not yet revised for v. 3.xx--some of it going back to 1.xx. Do you think you may have found a bug in v. 3.51.10, whereby TB! no longer automatically detects and installs the CSAPI dictionary from Office 97? Here's a copy-and-paste from what MIguel said to me on April 18, 2005, on how to know if I had both dictionaries installed: (TBBETA mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) > Maybe you have both available. Try something. Open the editor and > select > one of you British English dics and then select Spell > Checker/Dictionaries. What dic is shown in Dictionary-File?

From the bottom entry, selecting British English, I do see eng_uk.dic. Astounding. How I got it, I have no idea. However, I was running Word 97 when I got my first TB!, v. 1.61. * So, what do you think, Greg? Should 3.51.10 have copied this for you from Office 97? If so, and it hasn't, either there's a bug in it or something has gone wrong locally for you.

He can look on the machine that runs Office 97 and compare what I see in Spell Checker/Language and what he sees. If it's not installed, he may have found a bug in 3.51.10.

It works fine here. However I'm using TB v1.61 as you can see below. Maybe there is a new bug introduced by v1.62 -- Best regards, Miguel A.

John, what I did was to go into the speller sub directory of my TB
installation and delete (rename to be safe!) the various US oriented
speller dictionaries leaving files such as sscbr.* thus forcing TB to
use the proper dictionaries.
I don't have the exact file names to delete ('cos I've already deleted
them) but with a little care you won't do any damage.

Doesn't seem logical to have to do this if a certain language dictionary is installed and selected. Why don't they make it simple for a change?

Use %language="br"%- in your templates. As far as missing words and misspellings are concerned. You can add words, but I don't think you can delete them. And I don't know where RIT got their word-list from. -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
