SYMPTOMS
========
 
Grammatik version 5.0, supplied with Word for MS-DOS, includes a
dictionary management utility called DICTUTIL.EXE. You cannot use
DICTUTIL.EXE to add words that contain extended characters to the
MORPROOF.DIC dictionary file.
 
For example, if you use DICTUTIL.EXE to add words from UPDAT-AM.CMP
(the file where Word stores words you add to your standard [main] Word
dictionary) to MORPROOF.DIC, the dictionary utility does not add any
words that contain extended characters.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
Use the Learn Word command in Grammatik to add words that contain
extend characters to the spelling dictionary. Grammatik stores these
words in the GMK.SPL file and no longer flags them as misspelled. Do
not use DICTUTIL.EXE to merge GMK.SPL with MORPROOF.DIC after you add
words that contain extended characters to GMK.SPL.
