Auto Correct Pairs

Is there a list of autocorrect pairs available that I can import into the list of auto corrections or does every user have to manually add these?

Addict is setup by default to load AutoCorrect.adu (this is shipped with Addict) as well as setup your user's custom dictionaries. With this setup, the large initial collection of auto-corrections is both available to the user, but also isn't crowding those auto-corrections that users may add themselves by means of the spelling dialog of live-spelling menu.

So, each user shouldn't be required to enter any auto-corrections themselves, but each collects those that they create in their own dictionary by default.

Thanks,

Thanks - for some reason I had the autocorrect adu files there but they were 1K instead of the 54K and 31K as distro. Maybe they had been missing when I first deployed and then created as empty when first initialised?
Anyway - I replaced them with the correct ones and it works OK - but I suppose that I need the next version to actually inspect the contents of these pairs - yes?

The contents of Autocorrect.adu can be examined at runtime throught the setup - or if you have the PlusPack you can use the Custom Dictionary Editor....

I can examine the pairs I add manually in the setup dialog. But I cannot see the pairs in autocorrect.adu. How do you do that? The dialog does not allow selection of autocorrect, only username.adu as the custom dictionary.

Assuming running Addict 4 App:

Go to Spelling Options, choose Language - In Additional Dictionaries you should see autocorrect.adu - select it - and click edit button - and a new window should pop up

Interesting. There is no indication that you can open the autocorrect.adu file.
I can tick the box and I can highlight it. But there is no Edit button.
But if I double click it, sure enough I get another dialog with the pairs listed as well as Adds and Exclusions listed and editable.
Should there be an edit button? I would never have guessed it editable.

You don't see an Edit Button like is shown at the lower right of the attached image?

and sdcConfigEditDictionaryButton is set to False for some reason. No way I did that on purpose. It's the default to have it not visible - why?. but there you go. It's all OK now that I've set it to true enabled and true visible.
