I found it! Remember that thing that I said I was looking for a couple of days ago when I found the other two features that I ended up writing about? Well, I found it! So, here it is.
Before I tell you what I was looking for, let me give you a little bit of background so that if you haven't read the other three parts of my discoveries with Co:Writer, you understand why I was looking for this.
Co:Writer has a dictionary known as "collected words". This is where all the words that I use that it doesn't know are put and stored until I do something with them like deleting them or adding them to my personal dictionary. Most of these words, in my case at least, are words that I've misspelled while typing and therefore words that I don't really want to keep. However, Co:Writer doesn't know this and therefore stores all of them until I tell it to do otherwise. On rare occasions, though, there will be words that I've spelled correctly that it just doesn't know. In those cases, I really do want to save the word or words.
What I was looking for the other day was a way to transfer those "good" words from the collected words dictionary to my personal dictionary. Yeah, I could've typed them all individually and added them that way, but I knew there was a quicker way to do it than that. I just couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how. Then day before yesterday, I did. It was one of those moments that made me want to slap a palm to my forehead because it was so simple that all it needed to do was bite me, that's how close it was to my nose.
All I needed to do was go into "preferences", click on the "vocabulary" tab, click on "more vocabulary", click on the collected words tab, click the"edit" button, click on the word I wanted to transfer to my personal dictionary and click "transfer". That's it. Once I do that, the word is automatically removed from my collected words dictionary and placed in my personal one. That might sound like a lot of steps, but I promise that it reads like a lot more than it actually is. It's very simple. There are also options to change the spelling of the word before you transfer it so that when it goes in there it's spelled correctly.
Most of the words in there weren't good words, but a few of them were, and at least I didn't have to type and add all of them individually.
That's it for now, but will there be a part five? It's not only likely, it's going to happen! :-) You'll just have to keep watching to see WHEN! Until then, best wishes in finding your inner and outer geek! :-)
