Hi GRS Yes, that is the method I have used. Sorry I have not been as diligent as I should have been in checking the documentation. The only problem is that in the 1.9.x - 2.0. series implementations it has lost the ability to recognise initial capitals or plurals, so that if you use a word in the dictionary at the beginning of a sentence it will show as an error, and plural forms have to be added separately (as mentioned in my bug report as a regression from the 1.1.x series).
