Editing a custom dictionary?

Hello!
I clicked "Learn Spelling" by mistake. How can I undo this? Is there any possibility to edit the custom dictionary?

Hello Rustam,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can edit your custom dictionary in ~/Library/spelling/
Depending on your language, you'll find there a file it or en.
If you open that file with TextEdit, you'll see all words listed in a line without separator. However, words are separated by a control character that looks like "^@" in other editors (e.g. emacs in Terminal.app).

  • How do I Edit the Custom Dictionary?

    I am using Firefox 4.0 and I was wondering how i can delete misspelled words from my custom dictionary. I have found how to do it on old versions of Firefox, but they do not work on the new version. I am using windows 7.

    That should work the same with Firefox 4. You need to open the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/persdict.dat persdict.dat] in a text editor and remove the lines with those words.

  • Editing/creating a custom dictionary

    I have some custom dictionaries in my Apple Dictionary application. I'm looking for a way to edit them (change font colors, line spaces, etc.), but I don't fin any program that can edit dictionaries or let me even create one myself.
    Any ideas?

    Custom dictionaries must be created with a 3rd party program provided by Proximity (http://www.proximitytechnology.com/spell_correction.htm).
    The spelling support files are installed in this directory for all users (this is only the default)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\<product>\Resource\Linguistics\Providers\Proximity
    File types include:
    ENV - eg: grmphon.env - the phonetic rule file for the spelling dictionary language. There is one of these “ENV” file for each language.
    CLX - eg: grm32.clx - a language related part of spelling dictionary. There is one of these “CLX” file for each language.
    LEX - eg: grm104.lex - an actual spelling dictionary. There may be several dictionaries for a given language, for example, grm104.lex, grm10401.lex.
    So the answer is:
    Create a custom dictionary with Proximity and use the Wizard or some other method to deploy the files in the correct location.

  • Creating a custom dictionary for Acrobat and Reader.

    I want to create a custom dictionary to be used by all of our users when they access a “forms document” through Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
    Here are some of the issues:
    The default dictionary name under Custom Dictionaries has a .clam extension.
    Is there a way to edit this?
    Does it contain the index settings for all the other added.txt and excluded.txt dictionary files?
    The Reader's default location is under a user’s LocalLow folder.
    C:\Users\PIN\ AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary.
    The Acrobat default location is under the user's Roaming folder.
    C:\Users\PIN\ AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary\.
    This is buried under the users profile and we need to be able to update these files on all the user’s workstations prior to log on.
    This could be done by redirection of the new custom dictionary. What is the location of that setting in the registry?
    Is there is a way to append to the standard dictionary file so as not to replace any setting that a user may have made to the dictionary?
    Is this done to the .clam or .txt file outside of the Adobe Reader application?
    What is the “All” setting in the dictionary?
    Does that imply the program will look through all the dictionaries?
    Is there a way to create a new dictionary name that would appear under the preferences\spelling\dictionaries list. Is there an Index file that would point to a newly created Dictionary folder?

  • 64-bit Spell checker in OPPM v9-Sp1 works, but need Custom Dictionary

    My client adopted Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management (formerly ProSight) -- which is NOT P6, a couple of years ago. It entered production with v.8.0 which had a spell-checker included but which does not work with the approved 64-bit O/S (ie: Windows Server 64-bit). After being disappointed with the v.9.0 release also not supporting 64-bit O/S, the recently released v.9.0-Sp1 finally does. Good news!
    I have the instructions (“Primavera Portfolio Management 8.0 Customizing the Spelling Checker.pdf”) for adding a custom dictionary to the system, but cannot find any information on doing this for OPPM v.9.0-Sp1.
    Does anyone know if the same instructions still work, or where I can get new instructions for adding a custom dictionary (to avoid having the users need to add many new terms, including their own misspelled ones)?
    Thanx in advance.

    Hi Sachin:
    Actually, after my message yesterday, I managed to find the document, buried in with the OPPM technical docs. Looks identical to the OPPM v.8 version. Thanx for your help.
    Now that I have poked around a little more, I realized that I haven't seen anything about how to EDIT the dictionary files once created. How does one clean them up of accidentally (or unintentionally) added mis-spelled words? Every other application I've ever used with a spell checker has that function somewhere, but I can't see it in OPPM.
    Any info on this issue? Thanx in advance.

  • InDesign CS5 - custom dictionary

    Hi,
    I have a text file contains more than 1,00,000 words. I need to add this words in a separate dictonary file and load in InDesign application. When I import this text file using Edit > User Dictionary, InDesign appliction quits automatically.
    Is there any possible way to import this text file in a custom dictionary?
    Thanks!!

    Yes. I had tried adding it via Preferences > Dictionary, but the same problem occurs (InDesign quits).
    And there is no other formatting or characters in the txt file. It purely contains words separated by a hard return.

  • Way to import custom dictionary from word?

    I have an extensive custom dictionary that I would like to import into pages. Any suggestions.

    Pages will save a custom spelling dictionary in Users > your name > Library > Spelling . If the Spelling folder doesn't exist Pages will create one when you Learn a word. You can open this custom file in TextEdit. You can add word to the list. I believe the list have to be alphabetical sorted.
    I don't know how the corresponding Word Spelling document looks like. It might have extra data that needs to be deleted first.
    On Leopard there was a small free app one could use for editing the Spelling document. I don't remember the name of it. It is bound to be in these discussions but maybe some 2 years ago.

  • Custom Dictionary - CS2

    This is a long shot but does anyone know where the custom dictionary words are stored in CS2 on XP?
    I am trying to help someone running CS2 on XP who receives a file not found error when trying to Edit Custom Dictionary.
    In CS3 on XP (my oldest running setup) the file is called "added.txt" but the "added.txt" file doesn't exist on his computer running CS2.
    Thank you!

    You won't be able to use the CS2 workspaces, so don't stress about those.
    Dave Saunders wrote a pair of scripts for exporting and importing user dictionaries. I can't find the link at the moment, but there's a good chance he'll see this and respond.

  • Office Custom Dictionary

    Can I added one or two terms to everyone's MS Office Custom Dictionary? I don't want to replace the custom dictionaries as I know most of my users have placed custom edits in their dictionaries. Thanks
    Jason

    The only thing I can think of is that MS Office '04 is not supported under Lion, only MS Office '08 and '11.

  • Custom dictionary of names

    We're using InDesign CS5, and would like to be able to spellcheck using a custom dictionary of names. Each entry in the dictionary would be a first and  last name, and in some case a first, middle, and last name. Is this possible or must dictionary entries always to single words?
    Thanks for any help.

    OK, so maybe the Mac version handles things differently. If I create a misspelt entry, in say the artist field, then I can have this appear as an auto-complete suggeston when editing data for another file. If I subsequently remove the incorrect spelling, then close & reopen iTunes, I am no longer offered the bad suggestion.
    I've had a hunt on the web for any hints that this data might be stored in specific .plist or .xml file but no joy...

  • Error in compiling a custom dictionary for text analysis

    I got a error when I tried to compile the custom dictionary for the Text Data Processing transformor. I am looking for help to solve the problem or work around the error.
    The error is as follows:
    [ERR] Can not create file [C:/ws_sclg.1]
    Here is the command I was using:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services\bin> tf-ncc -d ..\TextAnalysis\languages -o C:\Sample Source\Dictionary C:\Users\jack\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\XMLFile1.xml
    It appears to me that the command was trying to create a log file or some temporary file in my C drive root directory, and the OS denied the action. The Data Services is running on a Windows 2008 Server R2. I wonder if there is a way to specify where to create this log file or tempory file?
    Any insight or help is appreciated. Jack

    Instead of calling the command from the windows shell command interface, I was able to call the compilier from Data Services; this problem is now resolved.

  • Indesign CS6 Custom Dictionary

    I'm a copywriter, and I use Dynamic Spelling in Indesign CS6. I work in an industry that uses a huge amount of unconventional spellings. I cannot find a dictionary setting that checks spelling using my custom dictionary when each page is opened; but when I add a new word to the dictionary, it checks the whole page. The simplest workaround I have devised is to add a nonsense word starting with a zero to the dictionary for each page; when I do this, the whole page gets checked. I remove the nonsense words from my dictionary (where they appear at the beginning, because of the initial zero) on a monthly basis. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Yes. I had tried adding it via Preferences > Dictionary, but the same problem occurs (InDesign quits).
    And there is no other formatting or characters in the txt file. It purely contains words separated by a hard return.

  • Is it possible to edit a custom form created in SPD 2010 in Infopath 2010

    I created a custom form in SPD, and need to use Infopath to further modify the form using features not available in SPD.  But I can't get Infopath to open the custom form. Even if I selected the custom form in SPD and then click "Edit with Infopath"
    in the ribbon, it still opens the default form.  From list ribbon, it also always opens the default form, there is no way I can pick the form I want to edit.
    Just want to confirm - Infopath can only edit default form (from SPD or the list ribbon), but not any form custom built in SPD.
    Correct?

    Hi QuickLaunch,
    When edit SharePoint list forms in Infopath 2010, it always opens the original default Edit Form of the list.
    It is impossible to edit a custom form created in SPD 2010 in Infopath 2010.
    I suggest you Customizing SharePoint List Forms
    in InfoPath 2010 directly.

  • Can't delete custom dictionary 8120

    Whenever I try to delete or clear the custom dictionary on my 8120, it clears out. However after a battery pull reboot everything reappears. If I use the Desktop manager 5.0 and go to backup/restore>advanced I try to cleat the custom words collection it says it clears, but it doesn't. The entries are still there. The only way to get rid of it, is to wipe the handheld. I need to do this, because frequently this messes up the search function in the songs list, when you start typing letters and it tries to find songs as you type. Then it cannot find anything. For example the #8 key normally starts typing "8" then "b" then "n". When it messes up, it starts with "b" and it says no songs available, even though I have songs that start with a "b". The solution to this is a battery pull reboot, and then it works for15 minutes or so, and then starts messing up again. The other way around it is to wipe the handheld to erase the custom dictionary. Why is it doing that? I got the latest 4.5.0124 t-mobile software.

    Guys and gals, yes, it's as I suspected. When I swapped the SIMs the problem disappeared and I could delete old workouts normally.
    So I have a reason to believe this is a small but potentially* critical bug with the Nike+ application on the iPhone. Why *the custom workouts are bound to the SIM used when creating them* is beyond my understanding, nevertheless, I hope for a future bug fix from Apple.
    *what happens if you lose or disable your unique SIM?
