I've been considering asking for the ability to swap word lists in and out for K1000 for those cases where the author has a particular series of books with unusual vocabularies.

Jill and Gary,
Faulkner loves compound words of his own devising and my KES
dictionary is now bulging with them though it sometimes ignores my "adds"
and still marks them as miss spelled and tried to divide them which is why
I don't use the automatic corrections with most books. Now if I only knew
how to get and download additional dictionaries as many books have British
spelling which my KES thinks is miss-spelling. And then there are words
like 'tis. This mail has no "add" so every time I spell check here I do a
quick check and then send it without correcting half of the of the words
highlighted as they are correct as shown.
One thing I do use is WordWeb as my own doule-check because it accepts words which this spell check does not.
Amy
