TextPad 9.8.2 User Dictionary

Post by Michael F »

Hi,

I am using TextPad 9.8.2.

Please let me know where the User Dictionary is. I thought that the User Dictionary is stored in the file U2057.TLX. However, it appears that I cannot add any new words to the User Dictionary, nor does TextPad use the file U2057.TLX any more.

Thank you!

TextPad 9 uses the following files in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Spelling\<language>:

default.acl - for auto correction
default.dic - for added words
default.exc - for words to ignore

Rather than editing them directly, you should use:

Configure » Preferences » Spelling » Edit.

However, if you've built up word lists with TextPad 8, they can be copied to those files, as long as you maintain the new format.

Many thanks for your prompt reply, and sorry for my late response.

This has solved my problem.
