To edit the contents of an existing dictionary file (.dct), complete the following steps:
Note: You can find a list of .dct files that ship with IntelliSpell located in C:\Program Files\ComponentOne\Dictionaries.
The editor shows all the entries in the .dct file:
The entries appear as items on the list box on the left. Selecting an entry shows its contents on the editor that appears on the right pane.
To rename the word list, select the Rename Wordlist button and change the default "main.words" name:
Tips: When creating a word list, note that case is important. Lowercase entries in word lists match regular words (for example, "word" matches "word", "Word", and "WORD"). Entries that start with an uppercase character do not match lowercase words and should be used for names (for example, "Paul" matches "Paul" and "PAUL", but not "paul").
Also note that the words in word lists don't have to be in any specific order. The words will be sorted automatically when the file is saved.
4. Once you are done making changes, save the file.
