Hello: Pardon me if this is a duplicate. My first message sent days ago did not seem to get to the list.
I would like to save new spellcheck words in a personal dictionary. I use a fresh install of Ubuntu 64 bit and Lyx 1.6.5. I have added a path and filename (/home/mydic) in the tools|preferences|spellchecker| personal dictionary box of Lyx. If I spellcheck a document and Lyx finds a new word, the mouse over message for the add button says "add to personal dictionary". Everything seems to work fine, except that after I close the document there is no file called mydic where I instructed Lyx to put it (there is no file with that name anywhere on my computer). So where does Lyx put saved words? And can I edit them? Related to this, I have a list of 50,000 or so medical words from openmedspel that I would like to include in a lyx-accessible dictionary. Is it reasonable to just put those words in my personal dictionary (once I find it)? Or do I need to compile an aspell file and put it in the aspell folder? Any suggestions/procedures would be very welcome. Thanks, John
