[LegacyUG] Dictionaries
Is there anyone else having trouble with the dictionaries? I wanted to edit some of the spellings and went to C: Legacy Dictionaries. All of the links to open the files lead to an American Greeting Card site. I deleted all of the files and downloaded the dictionaries from the Legacy website. Same thing - all link to American Greetings. Suggestions?

[LegacyUG] Dictionaries
Actually you can edit the dictionaries. Go to C:\Legacy\Dictionaries (or where ever you Legacy installed). Use a text editor (such as Notepad) and you can edit the files that end with *.tlx*.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dictionaries
Thank, Don. I know it is editable, as I've done it before, but I currently have no such *.tlx*files in my dictionary folder. EVERY one is a like to a greeting card site. The help files give directions, but the entire dictionary contains only the words: #LID 24941 LegacyFamilyTree i Millennia i MillenniaCorp i Ringgold i Tingley i Downloading and reinstalling the program has not helped.

Judy, The basic original Version 7 default installation should have installed the following 26 files in this location C:\Legacy\Dictionaries: correct.tlx ssceam.tlx ssceam2.clx sscebr.tlx sscebr2.clx ssceca.tlx ssceca2.clx ssceda.tlx ssceda2.clx sscedu.tlx sscedu2.clx sscege.tlx sscege2.clx sscenb.tlx sscenb2.clx sscesw.tlx sscesw2clx userdic-au.tlx userdic-ca.tlx userdic-da.tlx userdic-du.tlx userdic-ge.tlx userdic-nb.tlx userdic-sw.tlx userdic-uk.tlx userdic-us.tlx If you can not locate these files in this location then you might want to perform a search location of your entire hard drive for these files to determine where or if they even got installed. If these files did not get installed then you do not have a good and complete installation, and you might have other un-noticed problems also. Please let us know what results you find. Donald E.

RE: [LegacyUG] Dictionaries
Judy, I should have been more observant. The words you listed (except Ringgold and Tingley) are the *only* words supplied in the userdic-us.tlx dictionary at time of installation. You must *add* any other words that you want (as you did with Ringgold and Tingley). However, the correct.tlx dictionary file is the primary spell check file and has many more words in it. Donald E.

My apologies. I see that the tlx files are in fact plain text and therefore can be edited with Notepad. On a Vista system, with no application associated with the TLX extension, double-clicking one of them results in a query as to whether Vista should pick a program from the local system or use a Web service. The local computer is, of course, the way to get Notepad associated with all TLX files. I would postulate that sometime in the past you either went the Web service route, or had installed some greetings card software. To be able to open TLX files with notepad, you now need to use the Default Programs to a) remove whatever it is that 'owns' TLX files, and b) make Notepad the new owner. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dictionaries
Hi Mike~ No apology needed. Your suggestion worked beautifully - an old greeting card program - long since deleted - took ownership of about 30 file extensions, including .tlx and .clx files in the Legacy dictionary. I switched the associations to Notepad and all is well. Thanks for the input. Judy My apologies. I see that the tlx files are in fact plain text and therefore can be edited with Notepad.
