Adding Custom Dictionaries and Term Lists

The Oxygen XML Author spell checker allows you to add customized Hunspell dictionaries and personalized term lists. The Hunspell dictionary mechanism requires a dictionary file (with a .dic file extension) and an affix file (with the .aff file extension). The personalized term lists are custom files (with the .tdi file extension) that you can create to include specialized terms or specify forbidden words in the Oxygen XML Author spell checker.

You can add dictionaries and personalized term lists to the default folder where they are stored or specify your own custom locations. You can view the default storage location in the Spell Check Dictionaries preferences page and the Include dictionaries and term list from option allows you to choose a custom storage location. All the dictionaries and term lists for a particular language that are found in either location are merged and used by the spell checker in Oxygen XML Author.
