When catalogers run the spell checker, they can add words to an auxiliary dictionary. Horizon saves the auxiliary dictionary file on the catalogers’ local hard drive in the same Horizon folder where the main dictionary file is located. Because it is easy for your library staff to add words to the auxiliary dictionary, you may occasionally need to remove any added words that should not be considered correctly spelled.
To remove unwanted words from the auxiliary spelling dictionary
1 | Open the auxiliary spelling dictionary file in a text editor such as Notepad. (For instructions, see your Windows user’s guide.) |
The file name follows this format, where “name” is the name of the spelling dictionary you assigned to the subfields being checked:
name_ext.DIC
2 | Highlight the words you want to remove. |
3 | Press the DELETE key. |
4 | Save the file. |
5 | If you removed all the words, you can delete the file. |
