Problem

Symptoms: The customer was trying to add words to her supplemental dictionary. When she pressed (3) to add the word, nothing happened. Everything else in Spell worked correctly.

Another user typed a word by mistake, then added it to the supplemental dictionary by mistake during a spell-check. When the user tried to delete the word from the dictionary, she could not find it, but when the user did another spell-check, the Speller did not stop on the word. When the user looked at the supplemental dictionary, only one word appeared, but the size of the dictionary was twenty times the normal size. Solutions: Both problems were corrected by renaming the supplemental dictionary (.SUP file). Renaming the .SUP file is the same as copying the .SUP file to a new name and then deleting the old .SUP file. The .SUP file should never be deleted without saving it under another name so that the words could be salvaged. The .SUP file is a WordPerfect document and can shrink and grow in size due to unused header information.
