is to use Robert Holmgrem's TOGGLE DICTIONARY (TD) in their XWWWEB.U2. The
SIGNATURE lexicon files have hyphenation built into them. Therefore I run
the UK.DIC as my default dictionary for hyphenation purposes and then toggle
TD to the UK MICROLYTICS dicionary for spelling which I
normally do in the super-fast batch mode once my document is finalised.
