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.

Hi Ben,

Many thanks for your reply.

Found all files and was able to save them.

Best regards,

Michael
