Works 2.00: Manually Adding Words to PERSONAL.DIC

PSS ID Number: Q63561 Article last modified on 06-12-1996

2.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Words must be added in a specific location in the PERSONAL.DIC file for Microsoft Works to use them properly. The words must be sorted using a hierarchy that places words starting with a capital letter at the beginning (sorted in alphabetic order), followed by all the words that start with a lowercase letter (sorted in alphabetic order).

For example, the words Apple, apple, Plum, and plum should be entered in the following order:

Apple Plum apple plum

Works searches its files using the ASCII character set. In the ASCII character set, the letter “A” comes before the letter “a”. PERSONAL.DIC must be sorted with uppercase letters first in order for Works to properly match words in the dictionary.
