MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Library Autosort should not be used on a list of words to add words manually to UPDAT-AM.CMP. It is recommended that words be added through the Library Spell menu.

In Word version 5.50, Utilities Sort should not be used on a list of words to add words manually to UPDAT-AM.CMP. It is recommended that words be added through the Utilities Spelling.

= MORE INFORMATION =

When adding words to the standard dictionary through the Spell menu, words that begin with capital letters will appear in alphabetical order before words beginning with lowercase letters. For example:

Axb Gbx ang bae gfy

However, when you do a Library Autosort on a list of words, the words are sorted as in the standard dictionary. Library Autosort sorts all the words in alphabetical order.

In Word version 5.50, the equivalent of Library Autosort is Utilities Sort.

For example:

ang Axb bae Gbx gfy
