Upgrade LyX but keep customized dictionary

Post by dbickel »

After upgrading LyX from version 1.6 to 2.0 (Windows Vista), I no longer
have access to the words the system recorded whenever I checked
spelling and told it to "Add" a word it flagged as misspelled.

Where were those words stored? Is there a way I can get version 2.0 to use them?

Any help would be appreciated.

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0\pwl_english.dict
