Hi All,
I have a number of entries in my customized standard dictionary, but I
would
like to manipulate them in a textile to make a glossary, and to put
the same
entries in MS Word's custom dictionary. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Terje
Hi Terje,
I look after the Australian English dictionary. Entries in peoples'
customised dictionary should be a great source of words that may be
missing from a dictionary.
Anything that makes it easier for people to get a list of words from
their custom dictionary files, can only help the dictionary maintainers.
As a result of your question, I wrote a utility to convert the
customised dictionary file into a list of words. The utility is an
OpenOffice.org Writer document with a form and macro.
You can find the utility on the following page.
http://www.dictionary.JustLocal.com.au
As this gives you a list words, you can then do what you want with the
list of words.
You can then use the same words in the MS Word's custom dictionary.
You may also wish to think about submitting some of your words to the
dictionary maintainer for review, if you felt that was appropriate.
Please feel free to test the utility and offer any feedback.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
