Installing and Activating additional spelling dictionaries

Our applications are shipped with 19 different spelling dictionaries. The American English dictionary is the active dictionary by default. Download and use one or more of our 30+ Royalty-Free spelling Dictionaries to spell check within any Windows program.

You may obtain additional spelling dictionaries in 2 ways:

  • Automatically by using the Dictionary Update Wizard
  • Manually by downloading from our Web Site
Automatically by using the Dictionary Update Wizard
  • Open the Dictionary Update Wizard by clicking on the Help | Dictionary Update Wizard menu item.
  • Follow the directions to download and install the additional dictionary.
  • Activate the new dictionary by opening Spelling Options (Options | Spelling Options)
  • Select the new dictionary by placing a check in the little box to the left.

Note: We suggest selecting only one language dictionary. However, in the case of using the Add-on dictionaries that is in the same language as you main dictionary (using the American Dictionary and the Medical (English) together or using the main English and Australian Add-on together), you may have more than one active dictionary.

Manually by downloading from our Web Site

  • Download your desired spelling dictionary

  • Extract dictionaries from the self-extracting files and place the dictionaries into the Alcoda program's home folder (example: C:\Program Files\Alcoda\Word Spring)

Activate the new dictionary (using Word Spring & ExactWord as examples):

  • Close & reopen Word Spring or ExactWord.

  • Click Word Spring's popup 'Spelling Options' menu item or ExactWord's Options | 'Spelling Options' menu item

  • and place a check beside the new dictionary names,

  • for best results when using different languages, uncheck the English (United States) dictionary,

  • however, if you are using an Add-on dictionary, in conjunction with your main language, you will leave both selected
