Tools, Options, Spelling, Edit custom dictionary.

It's a simple text file with one word per line. The words are expected
to be in alphabetical order, so be careful when adding words.

Looks as though I didn't look far enough for that edit option. Thanks for
directing me to it. Can't wait to paste all that terminology into my
dictionary!

Hmmm... Michael, you wouldn't happen to know the name and location of that
file would you?

Hi, LuDean.

Perhaps the easiest way to get all those words into your custom dictionary
is to simply Send yourself a message listing them all. Whether you type
them in or paste them in doesn't really matter. The spell checker will barf
at each one, but you can simply click Add each time. One trip through your
message - which you can then delete if you like - and all the words are in
your dictionary. ;<) (And you don't even need to know the location of the
file, although Dave has provided it.)

Lol..
It looks like it was intended to instruct a re-read or add importance to the original.
Beyond that, unnecessary.

I guess that would be the English file?
I also have lang0C0A.lex which I believe is for Spanish.

Is there any difference to sending yourself a message or just composing a
message?
