"Incompatible Supplementary Dictionary" |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Users are getting the error message, "Incompatible Supplementary Dictionary File Format" during a spell-check. WP is finding older WP 5.1 supplementary dictionaries in other directories. Solutions: This problem was addressed in the 09/13/93 (6.0a) interim release of WP 6.0 DOS. To work around the problem on an earlier release, do the following: 1. In File|Setup|Location of Files|Writing Tools, set the location for the Main and Supplementary to the same directory. 2. Rename old supplementary dictionaries. Usually there will be a .SUP file in the same directory specified for documents. If renaming this does not correct the errors, perform a global search for all .SUP files. To locate all dictionaries, at a DOS prompt, make sure you are at the root directory (C:\) and enter the command ATTRIB *.SUP /S. This should show you where all the supplementary dictionaries are located on that drive. (The ATTRIB command will work with all DOS versions provided ATTRIB is in the DOS directory and C:\DOS is in the path). After you rename the other .SUP dictionaries to .OLD, create a new .SUP dictionary at a blank screen by typing in a word (usually the person's name), spell-check the document, then add this word to the dictionary to verify. NOTE: To save the customer time, if the old supplemental dictionary is large, have the customer retrieve the .OLD dictionary on the screen and spell-check the document. Have them add all the words to the dictionary to create a new .SUP file with the old information. |
