Hi,
I am using TextPad 7.0.9. I will soon change my computer. I have extensively used the F7 Spell checking tool and added many words to the dictionary.
Unfortunately I have not found where these added words are stored so that I can transfer them to the new system.
Please advise where they are stored so that I can move them. Also let me know if I can manually add words with TextPad rather than using the "Add" function from the Spell Checker.
Thanks.

The dictionaries are the *.TLX files in the directory named in Configure | Preferences | Folders | User dictionaries .
These files are Unicode UTF-16BE-encoded (16-bit, big-endian). They may contain characters that do not exist in your current code page, in which case it is not safe to edit them with TextPad; use a Unicode-capable editor instead.
Of course, you should not use the spell-checker to add words to a dictionary file and edit the file directly in the same TextPad session.
