TO BUILD A LEGAL DICTIONARY USING PROCAT’S DICTIONARY BUILD
First, backup your dictionary and keep it in a safe place!
Go to My Computer.
Double click on your C drive.
Double click on Winner.
Right click in the white area. Choose New Folder.
Right click on the New Folder. Rename the folder legald
Double click on your user directory (the name or number you type to open ProCAT)
Click on the white area inside the window that opens up with all your ProCAT files.
Click anywhere within on the white space.
CNTRL+A to select all the files
CNTRL+C to copy all the files
Look for the folder with the up arrow to go up one level.
Click on the folder with the arrow and go up one level.
Double click on the folder that now says legald
Click inside the white space
CNTRL+V to paste all the files you copied from your user directory.
While still inside the legald directory, do the following:
1) minimize the window so you can still see all the files but see your desktop at the same
time.
2) go to your desktop and find the files you received from me, pdict32 and English.dat
3) click on the pdict32 file on your desktop and drag it into the legald directory. Answer
the question of whether you want to overwrite the file already there (which will be a
larger one) with the new file (which will be a smaller one) – YES.
4) click on the English.dat file on your desktop and drag it into the legal directory.
Answer the question of whether you want to overwrite the file already there (which will
be a larter one) with the new file (which will be a smaller one) – YES
Close the windows. After you test your new system, you can delete the pdict32 and
English.dat files from your desktop.
Open ProCAT. INSTEAD of entering your user directory password, enter legald. This
will open up your legald directory. Open the dictionary maintenance. Click Build. Click
Build Personal. Make sure your writer and port are correct. Start with word no. 1 to
build your legal dictionary. Put a comma between each word to make a new word pop
up. Use a comma simultaneously with an asterisk if you wish the same word to pop up
again so you can enter it another way (a variation). Use your asterisk to correct mistrokes
before using the comma to bring up the next word.
During the process you may open your personal dictionary (just like you do in your own
user directory) to view your entries.
At the conclusion of your dictionary build, (or any time you want to translate against your
legal dictionary with your personal dictionary, you need to:
Go to My Computer.
Double click on your C drive.
Double click on Winner.
Double click your legald directory.
This step was modified after I thought it through.
(Right click on pdict32 (which is your new legal dictionary) and rename it legal.dix)
Copy the file (CNTRL+C)
Click the up arrow to go back to the Winner files
Double Click your user directory
Click in the white space
CNTRL+V to paste your legal.dix into your directory.
on video but I thought it through and changed my mind!
NEW WAY:
In legald, right click on pdict32.
CTNRL+C copy
Click on your desktop
Right click
paste
right click on that pdict32 file on your desktop
rename it legal.dix
then drag the file into your user directory
(click the up arrow file, double click on your user directory to open it, from the desktop
drag the file into your user directory.)
Now when you want to realtime using your legal.dix, you must select legal.dix from the
available dictionaries.
One last thing! Your dictionary build may open to the last no. word you entered
when you created your personal dictionary (which would be wrong), so please set
the word back to no. 1 when you begin. Then your legal words should show up in
the dictionary build.
