Ted, Interesting what you say about the asterisk. I do have a JDF file that I've never been able to clean up because of the asterisk. I'll open it in Notepad and see how that works. Thanks for the tip.

I believe they're found under user settings. I have quite a bit of practice, since Freedom Scientific crippled the dictionary a couple of years back. Any word with an asterisk is now carved in stone, unless you use a text editor to change it. I think 12 has remedied the situation somewhat, but don't know if its fixed entirely.

Somehow, everything got deleted and I have absolutely no backup because I don't know how to back up the dictionary manager. *headdesk* Now I have to re-enter every. single. entry. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS) To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 1:54 PM Subject: RE: Turning On Dictionary Manager Every app has that check box; is the problem program-specific, or global?

Strange. The box was already checked, but still the DM isn't speaking my corrections. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bissett, Tom To: 'jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 1:38 PM Subject: RE: Turning On Dictionary Manager Hi, if you go to configuration manager and under text processing there is a setting in there called dictionary processing, check that and you should be good to fgo.

I know how to get to it, but for some reason, the changes I made aren't showing up. I think I literally turned it off. Not closed it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stan Holdeman To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 1:09 PM Subject: Re: Turning On Dictionary Manager jaws key plus D should do it for the application you are in. Then shift control D should get you to the default dictionary manager.
