Biology SPELLING

K

kpjae

i am currently a college student taking a core bio 1 course.
the teacher is old-school and likes rush and mispel words like superoxide
dismutase on the blackboard.
the general microsoft spell check dictionary lacks these words
is there a microsoft or third party custom dictionary with these types of
words for download for free?
i know of the reserach fucntion that gives out the definition, and it really
helps but the class room has no wireless internet therfore the research
search does not work.
also the book which probably has the correct spellings has an equivalent
weight of a bowling ball
thanks to my helper

Well, I can't help with misspelled words getting added - that kind of
defeats the purpose of having a spell checker.

But, all custom words added to the spellchecker are stored in a text file
named "custom.dic" . On my Vista machine, the path to that file is
C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof. You could look around and
see if anyone has a list of words your class may use and you could add them
to that file.


I looked around for some custom.dic files and found one that may help:

Not sure it would be useful, though.


I hope this helps!
