Co:Writer® 4000
Use a Topic Dictionary
In addition to the Main Dictionary, Co:Writer 4000 can draw its guesses from one or
more Topic Dictionaries. A Topic Dictionary is one which has been created to add or
boost the guesses for words and names on a particular theme. A number of sample
Topic Dictionaries were included with your Co:Writer program, ranging in size from
about 150 words to more than 2200 words.
Select a Topic Dictionary
1) Choose Select Topic Dictionaries… (Dictionaries menu).
The dialog will list available topics and categories (groups of topics). Any active
topics will appear at the top of the list.
In the Select Topic Dictionaries dialog, you can see a list of available topic
dictionaries. Each category is marked with a colored triangle. To open or close a
category, click on the triangle. When open, the triangle will point down, followed
by the topics in that category. When closed, the triangle points to the right.
2) Click Show Description to display more information on the topic dictionary,
including a sample word list, number of words and a description of the dictionary.
Note: The Words Included field displays only the first 100 words in the
selected topic dictionary. Use the Topic Dictionary Toolkit or Dictionary
Editor to see the entire word list. See the User Guide for more
information.
3) Click the checkbox next to the topic you want to select.
