Modifying the Libraries
Select the View Library button from the Prediction Options window to edit the
word libraries. This will open up the Edit Word List window. When it opens, all
the words will be displayed in alphabetical order. The abridged and unabridged
dictionaries contain 80,000 of the most commonly used words. In addition to
commonly used words, it also includes over 1,100 commonly misspelled words
and phonetically spelled words.
Remember the old grammar rule of “i” before “e” except after “c”.
Unfortunately, that is only good most of the time. For example, the word “weird”
is an exception to that rule. Word Prediction will pick up these misspellings and
provide you with the correct word. The same thing will happen if you
phonetically spell “phone” with an “f” like “fone”. Word Prediction will detect
that as well and offer the correct spelling.

In the Library Table view, you will also see a Usage column. The Usage column
is how often the word is used in the English language. The larger the usage
number, the higher on the Prediction List it will appear.
You can add your own words and even abbreviations to the Prediction List. For
example, the name of your organization may be quite large- “Traverse City
Intermediate School District”. You can enter the shorthand of “TCISD” and
every time you type those five letters, it will be replaced with “Traverse City
Intermediate School District”, thereby, saving you a significant amount of typing.
For more information, see Adding Words to the Library section later in this
manual.
