Note
A Vocabulary name can contain up to 128 characters, including spaces.
Importing Vocabularies
You can share Vocabularies among different User Profiles by first exporting a
Vocabulary from one User Profile and then importing it to another User Profile.
If you have exported a Vocabulary from another User Profile (for example, if
you have created a User Profile with a custom word list), use the following
procedure to import it.
To import a Vocabulary
1. Say "Manage Vocabularies" or click Vocabulary> Manage Vocabularies on
the DragonBar.
2. On the Manage Vocabularies dialog box, click or say "Import."
3. Use the Open dialog box to locate and open the folder containing the Vocab-
ulary you want to import (it must be a Vocabulary that was exported).
4. Select the desired Vocabulary (.TOP) file and click or say "Open."
5. In the Import Vocabulary dialog box, enter a name for the imported Vocab-
ulary.
To import the Vocabulary so that it replaces an existing Vocabulary, enter the
name of the existing Vocabulary. To import the Vocabulary as a new one, enter
a new name that you have not used before.
A Vocabulary name can contain up to 128 characters, including spaces.
6. Click or say "OK" to save the Vocabulary.
7. Click or say "Close" on the Manage Vocabularies dialog box to close it.
Notes
n An exported Vocabulary consists of six files with the same name but dif-
ferent extensions. These six files must remain in the same directory. To
import the Vocabulary, you specify only the file with the extension .TOP.
Dragon then imports all six files that together make up a Vocabulary.
n You may want to keep a master copy of an imported Vocabulary and
create a copy of it to work with.
n Vocabularies can be shared only by exporting and importing them using
the procedures described here. It is not possible to share Vocabularies by
copying Vocabulary folders from one User Profile to another.
n Creating and personalizing a Vocabulary with documents you choose as
representative of your writing style may be more effective than using a
Vocabulary created by someone else.
