Save and Use My Custom Dictionary

[Jim Monson]

There are endless comments on the AffPub forum about using various language dictionaries, but I cannot find the answer to my question as follows and thus have created this new topic.

As a Mac user using latest Affinity programs, and since my English dictionary has already "learned" hundreds of unusual historical names (in Latin script). I am faced with the problem of how to save the dictionary in this document and call it up in another map document. Is this now possible in AffPub?

Did you "learn" those words in Publisher or another application. If you learned them in Publisher then I think they'll be available on other Publisher documents you work on.

On Macs, anything you add to your user dictionary should apply to all apps that rely on the spelling features built into the OS.

Is this not working for you?

Thanks to both of you. Yes, they are all learned in AffPub. Since I work with my colleague in another state, will the go with the doc we work on together or not? We do not want to go through this long process if we don't have to.

You're welcome.

No, they are in your personal dictionary, not in the document. For collaboration purposes, it might be nice to be able to embed the personal dictionary into a document, to at least be used within that document on another machine. That might make a nice feature request, if it hasn't been asked for already.
