Electronic dictionary

[dougantholz]

Does anyone have decent electronic engineering dictionary that can be imported into Microsoft Word (v9.0)? I'm sick of having to lookup words like soffit and purlin in a dictionary because word's dictionary doesn't recognize them.

---- very easy to use dictionary. But it can not be imported to word. You can download technical dictionaries from the same web site also. Check out...

Questions:

1. Why don't you simply click on the "add" button when doing a spell check in M$ Word when it stops at a word like "soffit"? That would eliminate the problem right away, I would think.

2. Then, simply make a copy of your dictionary file and keep it somewhere in case your system crashes/requries a reboot, etc..

3. I have both the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Engineering and Tom Philbin's Illustrated Dictionary of Building Terms at my desk at all times. Both are excellent, informative dictionaries.
