Re: [Framers] Adding a word to FM dictionary

2021-07-28 Thread Les Smalley 
 First, I have no direct experience in this version of FM, as I've been out of 
the publishing world for over a decade now.  Second, I have no idea what 
setting is keeping you from adding a word to the dictionary (file permissions 
is my initial guess)

But I recall issues in past versions both with misspelled words in random 
paragraphs not being flagged, and correctly spelled words getting flagged, 
because somehow the language setting of the para was changed somehow from the 
desired language (US English) to something else, so FM looked up things in a 
different language dictionary - or not at all if the language was "none" (which 
we used to document code samples).

Might be worth checking, just in case.

 Hi Peter,

I am a party of one, so nothing on a network directory branch of my
installation. Everything is in my local directory. I wouldn't have a clue as
to what application tweaked my Windows and even if it did, why on earth
would the one word "potential" in the FM check spelling world be affected??
Stranger things, yes, have happened, but . .. 

Is there a way to refresh/replace/repair the US English dictionary for FM?
Just trying all thoughts at this point.

Thank you!

Standing out here on the sidelines of your battle, I can't help but wonder
if there's some kind of Windows cache issue that's at play. Actually not
"play" - more like evil. IIRC, in DOS days, some applications needed some OS
environment options, like "files=", or "threads=," customized, to perform
optimally. Perhaps there's a Windows Ace who can chime in here.

* Is it possible that other applications have tweaked your Windows?

* Is it possible that some of your settings or support files are on a
network directory branch of your installation, rather than in your local
directory?
