Other Controls in the Dictionary Dialog
Add File
Click to open a user dictionary file. When you select the Add File button, a dialog appears
which you can use to select the dictionary file to open. The set of open dictionary files is
remembered, so once you add a dictionary file you don't need to add it again. If you need to
create a new user dictionary, use the New button. You can open other applications' user
dictionary files.
Add Word
Click to add the word entered in the edit area of the Words list to the currently selected
dictionary. The currently selected action and other word are associated with the word. You can
use the Add Word button to change the action or other word associated with a word. Note that
the Add Word button is enabled only when a new word is typed in the edit area of the Words
list. The words you add may contain virtually any character, but only words which contain
embedded periods should have trailing periods (e.g., U.S.A. is OK, but USA. is not).
Close
Click to close the Dictionaries dialog.
Delete Word
Click to remove the word appearing in the edit area of the Words list from the currently
selected dictionary. The associated action and other word are also removed.
Export
Click to save the contents of the currently selected dictionary to a text file. When you select
the Export button, a dialog appears which you can use to select the name of the text file to
which words in the dictionary will be exported. The words are written to the file one per line.
Files
This field contains the list of open dictionary files. Select a file from the list, to display its
contents in the Words list.
Import
Click to add the words contained within a text file to the currently selected dictionary. When
you select the Import button, a dialog appears which you can use to select the text file to be
imported. Each word in the selected file is loaded into the dictionary. Note that importing a
large list of words may take some time.
Language
Displays the language (e.g., English or French) of the words in the currently selected
dictionary.
New
Click to create a new user dictionary file. When you select the New button, a dialog appears to
specify attributes of the new dictionary.

used in the “Auto change” and “Conditionally change” actions to supply a replacement word.
