Microsoft Word Dictionary Files (Top)

The first two files below are for use with Microsoft Word.  I have used them succesfully with Word 97.  I do not know how they perform with other versions, including the Office XP version.  I suspect they'll work fine as there is not much to the files themselves, just a list of words.  Here are the instructions on how to install the files.

1. Copy the two files into the system directory where the default custom dictionary file (CUSTOM.DIC) is found.  (This is usually on C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof\)
   .
2. Start Microsoft Word
   .
3. Select the Tools menu item, then Options menu Item .
   .
   
   .
4. Click on the Spelling & Grammar tab in the resulting dialog box.  And then click on the Dictionaries ... button.
   .
   
   .
5. Click on the Add button in the resulting dialog box.
   .
   
   .
6. Select the first file (Killifish1.ic) and click the OK button.   The file will be added to the list in the Custom Dictionaries dialog box.   Repeat this process for the second file.  (It only allows you to select one file at a time.)
   .
   
   .
7. The final list should look like this:

   .
8. Click on the OK buttons until you return to the normal editing window.

Plain Text File (Top)

The third file is a simple plain text file.  This is made available for folks who use other word processors that cannot use the first two files.  You can download this file and integrate it into your software's custom dictionary formate.  You can forward me a copy of any other word processing dictionary files format you create from this file for sharing on this page and I'll include it in the list below.
