faulty spell checker/dictionary?

["Sacks, Avram" Avram.Sacks@xxxxxxxx]

Hi, all.

A colleague accidentally saved to her business.spl directory a
misspelled word by hitting F5 when the spell checker stopped on a
misspelled word. She asked me how to remove the misspelled word from
her dictionary. After following my directions (see below), the spell
checker now stops on practically every word in the file except small
words like "a", "and", "the", and "of".  I can't figure out
what the
problem is. Do you have any ideas?

What I told my colleague to do was to open every .spl file in her c:\xy3
directory and look for the misspelled word and then delete it. She
opened each of the following files: prfpers.spl, pers.spl, legal.spl,
dict.spl, and business.spl. She also opened dict. Although she only
made changes to the business.spl file, she stored each and every one of
them when exiting out of each file, rather than executing "ab".

To trouble shoot I did the following:

1. made sure that she had every file in c:\xy3 that I have (other than
for unique printer and saveget files) - And, she does have every file.

2. Made sure that ;sp; appears at the top of
each of the .spl files.

3. Made sure that she had all of the symbols in the dict file that I
have in my dict file.

She also did a cold reboot.

Nothing works. Spell check still stops on nearly every word. I ran my
own spell check on her file and it ran fine.

What's going on? Is this fixable, or do I need to have her uninstall
Xywrite and reload a fresh copy?

We are both running XyWrite III Plus ver. 3.58B. Changing to another
version of XyWrite is not an option, as this version is integrated with
company processes.
