The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer tries to delete words from his supplemental dictionary using the SPELL.EXE program. He selects option 1 for change dictionary, types in the name of the supplemental dictionary, and then chooses 3 for delete words from keyboard. He exits, and receives the message "Updating Dictionary." He goes back into WP and looks at the supplemental file. It is unchanged. Solutions: When deleting words from a supplemental dictionary using the Spell Utility, the .SUP file must be in a compressed format. If it is in the regular WP expanded format the words will not be deleted. If the .SUP file isn't compressed the words can be deleted by retrieving the WP{WP}US.SUP file into WP, selecting the unwanted word(s), and pressing delete and resaving the file. Make sure that the hard return following the deleted word is also removed.

The Spell Utility will remove words from the compressed portion of the WP{WP}XX.SUP file. Viewing this file in WordPerfect will show only the words in the expanded portion. Any particular .SUP file may be all compressed, all expanded, or partly each.
