| If you would like to instruct MapSpeller that the
spelling of a location-bound word is correct,
add it to your customer locationary. The remaining of this page
deals with instructing MapSpeller that a spelling is correct
regardless of its location on a layout or map (meaning world-wide).
MapSpeller automatically creates a personal dictionary in the user's
Windows profile for each new user and for each new language used by a
user. The personal dictionary name start with "User_" and is
followed by the language selected such as "English (USA)", and ends
with a ".dic" extension.
For the user with the XYZ login, that file's full name would be: User_English
(USA).dic and it would be located:
- In Windows XP in: C:\Documents and Settings\XYZ\Application
Data\Edgetech America\MapSpeller
- In Windows Vista in: C:\XYZ\AppData\Roaming\Edgetech
America\MapSpeller
Note that to see these folders in Windows Explorer, you need to
set it so it shows hidden files.
The MapSpeller Potential Typos dialog lets users add words they deem correctly-spelled to their personal dictionaries.
This is done by right clicking on the word to get it's context menu
and selecting the Add to Dictionary...
command.
Words can also be added to personal dictionaries using Windows
Notepad. This has to be done in a careful manner to avoid corrupting
the file. The first line with the #LID string contains the language
code. It shouldn't be changed. On the next lines, add the word you
consider correctly spelled, a tab,
then the letter i.
For optimum processing speed, those danger words should be listed in
alphabetical order with uppercase letters taking precedence over
lowercase ones. Dictionaries are case-sensitive. |
