Spell Check Dictionary Selector

The Spell Check Dictionary Selector is displayed by the Spell Check Dictionary button on the Spell Check panel. The Spell Check Dictionary Selector allows you to choose a main dictionary language. It also allows you to choose the custom dictionaries to be used by Spell Check.

Custom Dictionary List: Displays a list of selected custom dictionaries. The first dictionary in the list is the default custom dictionary. The name of the default custom dictionary is either "default" or the user name taken from the personal shortcut used to start the program. Spell Check only uses the custom dictionaries that are checked. This allows you to keep a list of specialized custom dictionaries and then control which ones you want to use when spell checking a particular document.

Add: Displays a file dialog box that allows you to add a custom dictionary to the custom dictionary list. A maximum of 11 custom dictionaries are allowed in the custom dictionary list. Remember, a newly added custom dictionary is not actually used by Spell Check until you "check" it in the custom dictionary list.

New custom dictionaries can be created by clicking the Add button and entering the desired name for the new dictionary in the displayed file dialog box.

Use the Add button to add any custom dictionaries you have already created with Microsoft Word. The Microsoft Word custom dictionaries use a "dic" file extension and may be located in folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof. If that folder does not exist on your computer try using the Find File button to find all files on your hard drive that end with file extension ".dic".

Tip: You may find it useful to add a folder "shortcut" to Jarte's Spell folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\Jarte\Spell) that points to the folder containing your Microsoft Word custom dictionaries, or other custom dictionaries on your computer. A folder shortcut makes it easier to access other dictionary folders when using the Add button since the Add button always starts in the Jarte Spell folder. Look up "shortcuts, creating" in the Windows Help file (i.e., Start/Help) to learn more about creating folder shortcuts.

Delete: Removes the selected custom dictionary from the custom dictionary list. The default custom dictionary (the first dictionary in the custom dictionary list) may not be deleted.

Edit: Displays the Spell Check Dictionary Editor which allows words to be added or removed from the selected dictionary.

Main Dictionary Language: The Main Dictionary Language drop down list allows you to choose a main dictionary of the desired language. Additional main dictionaries can be installed as desired.
