This procedure will add:
■
Words that match backup dictionary words with the same
capitalization, for example, Punxsutawney or jackstraws
■
Unexpected capitalizations of words found in the active or backup
dictionaries, for example, “I’ll see you at the Meeting today”
■
Words with at least one uppercase letter that are not in the backup
dictionary, for example, eBusiness and Brooklynese, or a name, such as
Rusinow
The program expects to find capitals at the beginning of sentences, or in a
sequence of words that are all capitalized or have initial caps, such as a book title. It
does not expect to find capitals in the middle of words or sentences.
This procedure will not add all-lowercase words that are not in the
backup dictionary.
You have more choices over which words are added when you run
Vocabulary Builder (see page 48), but Add Words from Documents is
quicker and designed more specifically to process proper names, such as
a company e-mail list.
Before running Add Words from Documents, you may want to prepare your
documents as described on page 45 to make sure that they are in readable format and
free of spelling errors.
