Well, then, if you're getting a new machine, definitely use the back up
settings item in the settings menu. Install your v9 and then use its restore
settings, found in the same menu, to put all your settings onto the new
machine. That includes spell check and corrections lists. No need to go hunting
for all the stuff. If you use those two items, back up and then restore, the
program will do it for you. As for an aggregate dictionary for
ranked spelling, with contributions from many, the issue I guess I see with
that is that people may not want everything that others have put into their
dictionaries. But the original corrections lists were compiled in this
way. They took corrections from people and I'm not sure where else and compiled
that into the corrections list that shipped with the product back when that
feature was first introduced. You could always write to Kesi
and suggest that they could consider doing something similar for the spel check
list.
And I also do have confirmation that all that stuff that is saved in various
places under documents and settings, user name etc, is not overwritten by a new
installation, nor is it zapped if you uninstall the product. So if
you do put v9 over b8, or if you uninstall v8 before installing v9, your user
created or user enhanced stuff should still be there.
