2131.0. "PROBLEM WITH SPELLCHECK" by NEWOA::WILSON_S () Wed Jan 20 1993 16:07

    Hi,
    
    I have a problem with spellchecker.  Sometimes I spellcheck a document
    and the checker will stop on a word, for instance 'jan'.  I'm offered
    'ian' as an alternative.  I use ignore and then later in the document
    it may pick up another word that's not recognised, let's say 'multi'.  
    The first alternative is once again 'ian'.  This continues throughout 
    the document - 'ian' is always offered as the first choice to any
    unrecognised word.
    
    Apart from this, checker occasionally selects a numeric.  I am unable to
    use the option to ignore.  I get 'error in ignoring'.  I have to use
    Pass.
    
    As well as these problems, I find that the checker stops on words that
    are definitely in my personal dictionary.
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Sarah

2131.5	NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM	NEWOA::WILSON_S		`Mon Jan 25 1993 11:54`	5
	I'd already tried formatting my dictionary. I know that I'm not alone in suffering this problem (which seems to have occurred following our upgrade to ALL-IN-1 version 3).
2131.7	Try this ...	SUBURB::CLEPHANEB		`Tue Jan 26 1993 16:20`	36
	Sarah, I've managed to fix part of the problem, where the word "Ian" is offered as first choice replacement all the time, the problem with numerics and punctuation marks still exists though. Although its obviously a bit OTT, its a 'FIX ALL' method I've been using for quite a while now. Enter ALL-IN-1, create doc and GOLD-get any dictionaries you wish to retain. Delete dictionaries and empty wastebasket. Exit ALL-IN-1 Delete [username.a1]WPL_DICTS.DAT and WPL_LANGS. These get recreated when the dictionaries get reinitialised. Delete username.PST from [username.A1] directory Delete *.LGP files from [username.A1.DOC0-9] directories Enter ALL-IN-1, WP DIC, this will initialise dictionaries, CMD, and select BRITISH as ENGLISH is the default. Try again ... Regards, Bruce ps. I've searched through STARS and found nothing ...
2131.13	Grammar checker in V2.4 had a similar problem	IOSG::MARCHANT	I'm pink therefore I'm SPAM	`Wed Feb 03 1993 22:29`	11
	There was a problem very similar to this with the grammar checker in ALL-IN-1 V2.4. The problem was due to limitations of the deferred image activation used by ALL-IN-1 and was worked around for ALL-IN-1 V3.0. For ALL-IN-1 V2.4, relinking without deferred image activation fixed the problem - you might like to see if this fixes your problem too. In any case, you should really raise an SPR so that it can be officially looked at. Cheers, Paul.
2131.14	ANOTHER QUESTION	NEWOA::WILSON_S		`Wed Feb 17 1993 12:38`	15
	Hi, A question. When I invoke spellchecker how does it check what dictionaries are available? I have a personal.lgp in my .doc0 directory. I also have a personalbri.lgp. I understand that ALL-IN-1 version 3 converted the dictionaries. Could it be possible that the personal.lgp is still in the search list? If this was true, could anyone tell me if I would see the problems that I mentioned in my first note? Sarah
2131.15	No conversion of personal dictionaries in V3.0!	IOSG::PYE	Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice	`Thu Feb 18 1993 08:43`	9
	V3.0 didn't convert the dictionaries. The system wide ones were totally replaced by ones in a new format. Exisiting personal ones will still work, and as far as I know, they don't get converted. If it was there before, it should still be there now. One of the data files, or a file cabinet pointer determines the exact name of your personal dictionary. YOu might want to ask in the linguistics conference about this. Graham
