Problem with Dictionary manager

Hi,
I've been having some problems with WinEdt's (5.5 b. 20071003) Dictionary manager:

I currently use mainly three dictionaries (apart from WinEdt's and LaTeX's): English, Spanish and Latin. I usually need to add words to any of these, but WinEdt doesn't ask me to which one. It adds them to the first dictionary on the list (English, in my case). All the options of the three dictionaries are the same (modified, load on start, add new words, and compounded words are all checked) .
As a result, I've had to manually add words to these dictionaries. But when I ask the Dictionary manager to sort the dictionaries, these remain unchanged.

Any tips?

Thanks a lot!

Nicolas Vaughan

Yes, but are they *all* enabled correctly for the document you're working
on?

Cheers,  Phil

Hi Phil,
Well, I suppose so. Buy I'm not sure what you're asking.
Thanks!
Nicolas

Open the dictionary manager and for *each* dictionary separately check that
the little box marked "Enabled:" is actually ticked and that the space
following it does not explicitly exclude any submodes you might be using.

It's a long shot but ... when you run WinEdt, do you have the correct 
privileges to modify the dictionaries?

Re: Re: Problem with Dictionary manager

Yes. I'm the sys admin.

I've been making some tests and found the following. Although WinEdt doesn't ask me to which dictionary I want to add the word, it adds it to all three! I don't know if my memory fails, but I think that months ago WinEdt did ask me to select the dictionary to which I wanted to add the word every time.
Does this sounds odd?
Thanks!
Nicolas
