Re: Personal dictionaries (TeXworks / Win7)

I have the same problem as Dane Powell.  What would I actually put in
the local tree to create a personal dictionary?  Do I put a copy of
the entire en_US dictionary in C:\Program Files\MikTex\hunspell\dicts
and then add words to it?  Or can I put some kind of supplement, so
that any updates to en_US will still take effect?

best, Colin

Depending on the order in the tree list, you can affect the order of precedence of files in terms of duplicates. But never put modified stuff into the MikTeX tree - that goes in the local tree.
