Word uses lex files for it spelling dictionary. does any one know how to
read, edit, and/or create new lex files.

Any programs out there to do this??

I know about custom dictionaries option but that will not work for this
project.

thanks

Well, there are a lot of Word spelling dictionary add on packages. All of
the ones I have played with install a .lex file of there word bank. how are
they able to create the lex file? if they can do it, I would assume that it
is possible for me to do it too. How are they able the extend Word's
spelling dictionary without using the custom dictionaries function in Word?

thanks for your help.
