Using the Dictionary Manager
Open a file
    Press CONTROL+O to open the File Open dialog.
    Type a known file name in the edit field.
    Or press TAB to move to the File Name list box and use
        the ARROWS to select the file that you want opened.
    Press ENTER to open the file.
    After you change dictionary entries, press CONTROL+S to
        save the file.
    If you want the dictionary entries to be the same for
        all the files, see Open the Default File.

Create a new file
    Press CONTROL+N to open a new file.
    The new file opens as an untitled file.
    See Save a File  to name the file.

Save a file
    Press CONTROL+S to save your file.
    When a file is untitled, CONTROL+S opens the Save As
        dialog. The dialog opens with the PC cursor in the
        edit field.
    Type the name of the application in the edit field.
        Press ENTER to assign this new file to the name
        entered in the edit field.
    If you do not know the name of the application, see
        Enter a file name.
    If another file already exists with the same name, a
        caution dialog appears.  JAWS asks if you want to
        replace it.  If you do not want to replace the
        existing name, press N to choose the No button. Then
        type another name in the edit field and press ENTER
        to save the new name.  To replace the existing file
        of the same name with this new file, press Y to
        choose the YES button.
    If you want the dictionary entries to be the same for
        all the files, see Open the Default File.

Enter a file name
    Start the application that you want to modify.
    Press INSERT+Q to identify the name of the application.
    JAWS identifies the name of the application by saying
        its name.x, then spells the name followed by .exe.
    Type this name in the edit field.
    Press ENTER to close the dialog.

Open the Default File
    Press CONTROL+D to open the Default File.
    Changes made to this file affect all the applications
        installed in your computer.  JAWS uses the
        dictionary entries in the     Default file for all
        applications until you open a file and make new
        entries to some specified application.
    After you make changes, press CONTROL+S to save the
        file.
    Please Note: If you run an application and it does not
        utilize the dictionary entries you saved in Default,
        there are overriding settings in this application’s
        control file that you must also change.  See Open a
        file.

Add words
    Press ALT+A to open the Add Dictionary Definition dialog.
    Type the correct spelling of the word in the Actual Word
        edit field.
    Press TAB to move to the Replacement Word edit field.
    Type the phonetic spelling of how you want the word to
        sound.
    An example of this is the word a that most synthesizers
        pronounce as uh.  After typing a in the Actual Word
        edit field, type eigh in the Replacement Word edit
        field to have JAWS echo the word properly.
    Press ALT+A to hear the actual word.
    Press ALT+R to hear the replacement word.
    Press ENTER to close this dialog.
    If you closed the dialog before you heard the
        pronunciation of the replacement word, see Test the
        sound of the word.
    See Save a file to save your new entries.

    Use the ARROWS to select the link you want to change or
        delete.
    To change an entry, see Replace existing words.
