That's right, Craig. Specifically, the dictionary is a file called en_US.dic and the thesaurus files are th_en_US_v2.dat and th_en_US_v2.idx. They are all plain text files. A primitive solution would be to open them in a text editor and use the editor's search tool to find every occurence of every word you want to remove. Then remove them, but be careful that you don't leave any extra vertical bars (they seem to delineate between words/phrases), and don't delete any of those that need to remain. Notepad might not be able to handle these huge files - I'd probably do it in Writer, but be careful that you save them only as plain vanilla text files when you're done. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
