Re: [Framers] Unlearn FM 7.2
Not related to your tiresome problem, which I wish I could help with, but perhaps an amusing anecdote... When I worked as a system manager in the early 1980s, I introduced the then-revolutionary idea of word processing for report writing to our department, in this case on a Helwett Packard 100 Series minicomputer that had previously only been thought suitable for instrumentation control and data analysis. The idea proved a great time-saver, even though documents were output via an incredibly noisy daisywheel printer that was unfortunately in the same room as me. However, anyone using the software had the ability to add unrecognised words to the global dictionary. As we used a lot of technical terms, this was vital. Our secretary, who did most of the report entry, was a comely girl of broad South Gloucestershire stock with what's best described as a 'creative' approach to English spelling. I soon realised that one of my routine end-of-week maintenance tasks was to diff that's week's global dictionary with my master copy and weed out or correct all the horrors. It took quite a lot of my time. -- Steve ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
Re: [Framers] Unlearn FM 7.2
Thanks for the links. I found the “guilty” word when I wrote the personal dictionary to a file and opened it in FM 7.2 (forgot to mention version). After deleting this word, I saved it as a text file according to instructions and renamed it to .dct from within FM. However, changing the personal dictionary to this new file did not change the function of the spelling checker, i.e. it did not identify the word, just said “Spelling ok”. Same thing if I marked all paragraphs for rechecking. Something seems to be strange with these dct files as I cannot see them in Explorer, only from within FM? If I go into Character Designer and change language of the word, it will be identified by the spelling checker. That would indicate that the word is correct Swedish, ie passed through the default dictionary, but it is definitely not.

[Framers] Unlearn FM 7.2
Hello, I am updating a book and cannot get rid of an obviously misspelled word in the spelling checker, i.e it does not catch it. Same result if I copy the word to another book file or add it to a new standalone file, so obviously must be outside document level. If I change one letter in the word, it is immediately identified as misspelled. I have tried: Unlearn Mark all paragraphs for rechecking Rehyphenate document Write document dictionaly to a file (it was empty) Clear document dictionary Deleting user.dct so FM creates a new file Searching maker.ini for other dct It finds only site.dct which does not contain the word Checked language on paragraph and character level: Swedish on both Saving the file as mif and opening again. Any ideas appreciated.
