The Enforced corrections file allows you to force certain words to return specific spell checking results.

This is particularly useful for automatically changing user's usage of inappropriate verbiage - and also to curtail the use of confusing Acronyms.

Where are words that users "Add To Dictionary" Stored?

Good Question!

By default - all words are stored in the users browser cache - and no-one else is affected.

You can change this using the AddWordsToDictionary property.

myLink.AddWordsToDictionary="USER" ' saves locally in the user's browser cache
myLink.AddWordsToDictionary="NONE" ' disables the feature and removes the button
myLink.AddWordsToDictionary="SERVER" ' saves centrally on your server and affects all other users

To allow "SERVER" edit /ASPSpellCheck/core/settings/default-0settings.asp and set:

SaveToCentralDictionary = true
