suggest making backup copies of your current dictionary folder files so
that you can run a file comparison after a reinstall.

Hope that this information is of value.

It's a plain text file.


Thanks - that's the personal adjunct to the spellchecker
dictionary.

I need the master file for the spellchecker dictionary.

I have no idea how such an error made it in there.

The spellchecker dictionary also has trouble with "don't"
and other contractions.

Would suggest that when the word is flagged as incorrect, select "add"

This will not remove the word as spelled in the application, but it will
stop presenting the correctly spelled word as incorrect.

I was unclear.

The Spellchecker sees both "her" and "hor" as correct.

I need to remove "hor".
